Bup from PPA not working

[Uatschitchun]

Hi. As I've found no other way to contact you...

Installed bup from you PPA (20.04 focal) and its not working! This is what I get:

$ bup 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bup", line 26, in <module>
    from bup import compat, path, helpers
  File "/usr/lib/bup/cmd/../bup/helpers.py", line 13, in <module>
    from bup import _helpers
ImportError: /usr/lib/bup/cmd/../bup/_helpers.so: undefined symbol: PyBytes_FromStringAndSize

When compiling bup from git its working fine. Could you check for a wrong or missing dependency? I've tried installing all dependencies given on bup's github page to no avail. So something's wrong on you PPA version.

Hi ! Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to reproduce using a fresh installation of Ubuntu.

I've released a new bup v0.32 in the PPA and verified that on a fresh Ubuntu x86_64 installation, when just:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ulikoehler/bup
apt -y install bup

it works:
