Hi Axel,

Thank you for the bug report, reply follows inline:

Given that you say a Debian 11 install, with vorta 0.8.7, it sounds like
you are using bullseye-backports rather than buster-backports.

/This indicates the error/

'apt search secretstorage' finds "python3-secretstorage", which is the
missing package.  This wasn't an issue with vorta 0.7.5, which shipped
with Bullseye (Debian 11), and you can blame git commit:8cb515c5 which
removed "python3-secretstorage" as a required dependency.  While that
action is correct for Bookworm (Debian 12) it is not correct for
bullseye-backports.

I've uploaded a fix, but if you can't wait, you can achieve the intended
effect immediately with:

    sudo apt install python3-secretstorage

Nicholas
