Installing on a clean Ubuntu 9.04 box

[omfgbunnies]

I'm having terrible trouble here. After two fresh installs I'm a bit further on, but now am up against apt-get's refusal to resolve dependencies.

I added

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/deluge-team/ubuntu jaunty main universe

to the /etc/apt/sources.list file, and did the GPG fix mentioned here (as apt-get update wouldn't work until this was done) - however when I come to install deluge, I'm thrown up this error:

Code: Select all

# apt-get install deluge
Reading package lists... Done

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  deluge: Depends: python (>= 2.5) but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: python-support (>= 0.7.1) but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: deluge-common (= 1.1.9+dfsg-2~jaunty~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: python-glade2 but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: python-notify but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: python-dbus but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

It's slightly different to what I received the first time, because one of the many pages I visited on my endless trawl through Google mentioned they'd had success after uninstalling python and reinstalling it. The problem I have is that when I try to install python alone, it gives me similar errors:

Code: Select all

# apt-get install python

  python: Depends: python-minimal (= 2.5.2-3ubuntu1) but 2.6.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I have trawled the Deluge FAQs and forums but can't seem to find an answer. Where can I go from here? I'm at a total loss, as I'm not an expert on Ubuntu.

Help much appreciated

Okay, so aptitude managed to work around the dependencies. However it dropped Python down to 2.5.3. Is this what's causing this hellish output when I attempt to start the application from the command line? (bearing in mind this is a headless box)

don't run deluge as root.

you're getting because that error you're trying to run the deluge GTK ui on a headless server

you just want to run the daemon:

Code: Select all

deluged

also you may find this useful: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient

Thanks for the reply.

I don't intend running it as root at the end of the day.

I've followed every guide, including headless, that I can find. I get this when visiting the webui page:

...and this when attempting to start deluged:

    raise DistributionNotFound(req)  # XXX put more info here

... the log file has displayed this and nothing else for a while, so I assume it's libtorrent that's the problem. Please, please correct me if I'm wrong, and tell me what to do!

I'm at a total loss, and have run out of places to look on the interwebs, it seems. What else can I do? I'd love to get Deluge working, but it just seems to be an impossibility.
