Bug#827481: deja-dup: backing up over sftp writes into local directory named sftp: instead

Package: deja-dup
Version: 32.0-1
Severity: normal

I tried to configure back up over SSH. I tried:

 - filling the location dialog with type SSH selected
 - setting the sftp:// URL with type Custom Location selected

However in both cases instead of the correct URL
`sftp://box/home/kocka/nessie`, duplicity got called with destination of:

    file:///home/kocka/sftp:/box/home/kocka/nessie

which rather obviously isn't what was intended.

Note that box is configured in .ssh/config, but I also tried with the expanded
version of `kocka at box.local`. Both work with `ssh`.

It does rely on content of .ssh/config either way though, because an ed25519
public key with non-default filename is needed to authenticate. Still, if
inability to understand that was the problem, I would have expected a password
prompt, not prefixing the URL with file://
