General advice: Always check to see if a package is available. There
are a variety of ways to do that, not least searching debian packages.

Please don't tell me what you did, show me *exactly* what you did, as
you did after running hp-setup.

That sounds suspiciously like something that uses QT, a graphics
library. Try running it with no GUI: "hp-setup -i".

I don't know where you got that. I guess the command probably should
have been:
sudo apt install backintime-qt4
Regardless, looking at the description of backintime-qt4 ("apt-cache
show backintime-qt"), I don't think it will help you.
