Unable to start Deluged ('ee key too small' error) on Buster

Post by francy88 »

Hi,
I'm on Raspbian and I've upgraded from Stretch to Buster. After that Deluge stops working, so I reinstalled/reconfigured deluged to the latest version without success.
On the log this error appears

[('SSL routines', 'SSL_CTX_use_certificate', 'ee key too small')]

This problems seems similare to the one described here: viewtopic.php?t=55116
I've tried to delete my .config/deluge/ssl as suggested in the above topic, but nothing changed. The only way I found to fix this problem was to edit my global OpenSSL security level (changed on Buster from TLSv1 to TLSv1.2 --> https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ ... l-defaults). Now my Deluge .key / .cert files are accepted and all works fine.

My question is: why Deluge seems to not respond to this new security level and continues to create the key with the "old" method?

Thanks in advance
