Upgrade deleted config folder

[SASDOE]

After running sudo apt-get upgrade, i launched deluge-web, whose password was set back to default deluge. So i went to the deluge home folder /home/deluge/ and saw that the config file had entirely disappeared. How on earth did this happen ? And how do i fix it ?

For the background, i have a ubuntu server, deluge has it's own user (not used to run the apt-get upgrade command), and i had set it up with the new upstart file.

Running

Code: Select all

sudo deluged start

Outputs this :

Code: Select all

$ [ERROR   ] 16:45:16 rpcserver:375 Couldn't listen on localhost:58846: [Errno 98] Address already in use.

And crashes the bash window (or however you call it when i can never input a new command, and pressing say left outputs its code).

Was this from PPA or Ubuntu repo?

Installed following this guide http://linuxhomeserverguide.com/mediaserver/deluge.php, since i added no repos i suppose it's ubuntu

I have no idea how that could occur but in order to fix it you would need to use something like extundelete

completely uninstalled deluge with

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove --purge deluge*

and reinstalled it. Brought my config files back somehow. Everything back to usual anyway. Didn't use extundelete, but will sure use it when i'll need it, which is bound to happen. Thanks.
