Hello,
I've recently upgraded to libtorent 1.0 using the Deluge PPA. However, this broke one of my favorite torrents.
How can I downgrade to the repository libtorrent version?
Removing and purging the ppa will also remove deluge...
Downgrade to repository libtorrent (ubuntu 14.04LTS)
Re: Downgrade to repository libtorrent (ubuntu 14.04LTS)
Use "apt-get install <packagename>=<version>" to force a version different from the latest.
Re: Downgrade to repository libtorrent (ubuntu 14.04LTS)
I've downgraded to libtorrent-rasterbar7 (0.16.11-1ubuntu1) from the ppa version.
However, the thin-client on my windows machine still reports libtorrent 1.0.1.0.
Is it just a bug?

Re: Downgrade to repository libtorrent (ubuntu 14.04LTS)
Maybe you missed a package? Try to check.
For example, when I try that, I get
If libtorrent-rasterbar8 (v1.0 and up) is installed, Deluge prefers that over libtorrent-rasterbar7 (up to v0.16.17something). So if you want it to use v0.16.17, just apt-get remove libtorrent-rasterbar8.
Code: Select all
dpkg-query -l "*torrent*" | grep ^ii
For example, when I try that, I get
Code: Select all
ii libtorrent-rasterbar7 0.16.17-1ubuntu3~ppa1~trusty amd64 C++ bittorrent library by Rasterbar Software
ii libtorrent-rasterbar8 1.0.1-1~ppa1~trusty amd64 C++ bittorrent library by Rasterbar Software
ii python-libtorrent 1.0.1-1~ppa1~trusty amd64 Python bindings for libtorrent-rasterbar

Thanks,
Running the command returns something very similar:

warns about also removing deluged & python-libtorrent:
I would very much like to not uninstall deluged, as it is configured with plugins and thin-client .
Thanks.
On a related note, on the libtorrent sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtorr ... ibtorrent/) there are two packages released the same day, with different naming conventions:

Re: Downgrade to repository libtorrent (ubuntu 14.04LTS)
regarding the ppa: it would be nice to have older versions available via the ppa: if there is a error, which requires a temporary downgrade, you have to either compile an older version yourself or update to the main repository stable package which would be 1.3.6 or something for Debian.
Is this technically possible?

Anyone here?
An alternative would be to instruct the daemon to somehow use the older libraries if those are still available.
