Trouble installing Deluge 1.3.2 on Debian Lenny

[reini1305]

Hi everyone!

I was just trying to install deluge 1.3.2 from source on a debian lenny machine. I managed to compile all prerequisites and also got the web-ui running. However, the daemon refuses to start with the following messages:

Code: Select all

[INFO    ] 10:27:02 daemon:129 Deluge daemon 1.3.2

                     ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is python 2.5 too old?

Greets,

That appear to be my code addition that is not 2.5 compatible

You can edit the code and I will fix it for next release:

Find the following matching lines in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge-1.3.2-py2.5-linux-i686.egg/deluge/core/torrentmanager.py

Code: Select all

except OSError as (errno, strerror):

and replace with:

Code: Select all

except OSError, (errno, strerror):

Thank you! That did the job. There was only a second appearance of this code in torrentmanager.py

Now I can start playing around.
