Describe your issue
Hi,
I recently had a problem on my Yunohost (no more space left on the disk) and I had the restore a backup retrieved from my borg repo on borgbase.
When I wanted to restore the backup, I noticed that borg was not available in PATH, despite the app ynh_borgbackup being installed.
Being under pressure, I installed it with apt install borgbackup and kept going with the restoration process.
The restoration went OK, but since then, all borg backups fail.
I since then uninstalled borg with apt remove borgbackup, but this did not help.
Thanks for your kind help !
