Description of problem: I installed Mageia 9 today (08/31/2023) without problems and it works well. However, having installed backintime, the backup/restore program (as a simple user or as root) does not run. backintime-common Version : 1.3.3-1.mga9 Version actuellement installée : 1.3.3-1.mga9

Another user reported that python3-packaging is lacking. Does its installation solve the problem? https://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-30887.php#m315589

One of my friends from MLO (papoteur) asked me to install the python3-packaging module, which I did. It appears that the problem is resolved but, before reporting it as resolved, I am waiting for the current backup to complete. Sincerely, Yves

I see from https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/releases That 1.40 was released two days ago with many bugfixes. And bugfixing is what upstream itself say they are focusing on, not new features. So I suggest we update to this 1.40 current release now while we are at it.
