Deluged reinstall problem

Support
1

My deluge app stopped working, the app suddenly reported an error, the preferences settings were not saving etc.
I purged an app, deleted module with

“sudo echo “delete from plinth_module where name=‘deluged’;” | sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/plinth/plinth.sqlite3”

and then i tried to reinstall the app from the webpage.
I get the following error:

"Error installing app: (‘Unable to setup deluged.’, b’Waiting for {service} configuration\nWaiting for {service} configuration\nWaiting for {service} configuration\nWaiting for {service} configuration\nWaiting for {service} configuration\nWaiting for {service} configuration\nWaiting for {service} configuration\n’, b’\x1b[31m ERROR\x1b[0m \x1b[94m__main__ \x1b[0m Error executing action: Unable to setup deluged.\nTraceback (most recent call last):\n File “/usr/share/plinth/actions/actions”, line 92, in _call\n return_values = func(*arguments['args'], **arguments['kwargs'])\n ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/plinth/modules/deluge/privileged.py”, line 127, in setup\n _wait_for_configuration('deluged', 'core.conf')\n File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/plinth/modules/deluge/privileged.py”, line 154, in _wait_for_configuration\n raise Exception(f'Unable to setup {service}.')\nException: Unable to setup deluged.\n’) "

Any hints to the solution would be appreciated.
Thank you.

It is due to this bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031593

There’s a fix in Debian testing/unstable. But there isn’t a fix for the version in stable.

I’m using Transmission for now until it gets sorted.

Is there a fix for this?

I received this error as well in August 2024, and it appears to me that we won’t be getting this until the next Debian release. The bug is fixed in Deluge 2.1.1-1, and in FreedomBox stable with backports we have 2.0.3-4. Is that about right?

$apt search deluge

Yes, sounds right. Deluge isn’t in backports, so we just have the version in stable.
