Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

I've made a huge mistake. BIT actually doesn't start without openssh. I should've tested it without having openssh installed. Let's just add openssh to the depends and forget all about this, ok? :)

Same here. This is the KDE Crash handler report http://pastebin.com/Kv9Gdwxj

openssh is indeed only needed for SSH-Mode. But as a workaround of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/841672 BIT always starts a new ssh-agent at startup. Even if you don't use SSH-Mode. If this bug does not occur on Arch-Linux (didn't test that) you can patch remove ssh-agent in common/backintime and gnome/backintime-gnome so you don't need openssh at all if you don't use SSH-Mode.

Remove 'ssh-agent' from depends and add 'openssh' to optdepends; it's only needed for the remote (SSH File Transfer) backup feature. The program runs fine without it. I'll email you the fixed tarball/PKGBUILD. Thanks.

Confirmed, build and runs fine for me with installed openssh package from [core]. /usr/bin/ssh-agent is owned by that package.

Apparently the package "ssh-agent" does not exist in the repos nor in the AUR. I think ssh-agent is part of "openssh".

ssh-agent added as dependency

Was having a "/usr/bin/backintime: line 30: ssh-agent: command not found" problem, fixed with this: https://answers.launchpad.net/backintime/+question/232771 (solution: install package "ssh-agent") Could it be set as dependency or set aside from the requirements?
