A little while ago deluge started behaving oddly, I tried looking for some answers on why but didn't get very far. So today I thought I would try and remove deluge from my system completely and do a fresh install. However I seem to have gotten over enthusiastic somehow with my clearing and when I installed a fresh version it just crashes.

My system is Linux Mint 20.2
Running deluge -v from the commandline gives

Code: Select all

 Traceback (most recent call last):

I think the problem is due to something wrong with python on my system but from there I have no idea.

It is likely a problem with the pip installed. What version of pip is installed?

How did you install Deluge?

I installed deluge through the software manager. also tried uninstalling and re-installing again though bash with no luck.

Had a look for pip and couldn't find it on my system, so a quick search on synaptic I found python3-pip package which I have now installed its version is 20.0.2ubuntu1.6. Still getting the same error on start up for deluge tho.

Can you check for old versions of Deluge installed like in this old thread viewtopic.php?t=36875
