No module named 'deluge.libtorrent', 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 20.04

Post by mortoray »

I upgraded to version 2.1.1 today and am getting a `No module named 'deluge.libtorrent'` error.

I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, including the libtorrent package, but nothing seems to help.

Code: Select all

18:48:18 [ERROR   ][deluge.ui.gtk3.gtkui              :1343] No libtorrent library found: No module named 'libtorrent'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

got exact same issue in truenas jail 12.3.

see https://www.truenas.com/community/threa ... ost-713112
for all my install details

From what I saw, the issue is with the binding of the libtorrent library with python
I wasn't able to find anythng on this topic

Apparently, this is a bug in libtorrent binding:
https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent/issues/6890

Not sure what to do to fix! This is broken since march and didn't found any solution yet

The issue from OP regarding ubuntu 20.04 I just now tested in a VM and verified to atleast not be a general issue imho.

Install deluge from PPA or pypa on ubuntu 20.04, as main repo package is deluge 2.0.3, and make sure don't mix'n match e.g. libtorrent from main repo and deluge from PPA/pypa won't work, since deluge 2.1.1 doesn't support libtorrent 1.1.x like the main repo package provides and indeed would show such error I believe - check if that's the case(having libtorrent under 1.2.x) through e.g:

Code: Select all

python3 -c "import libtorrent; print(libtorrent.version)"
The truenas issue of yozart I cannot comment on sorry.
