[SOLVED] 0.5.8.7-1 ubuntu 7.10 install problem

[noizo]

Hello girls and boys.

Its my forst post to this community.
I have not found any suitable topic to my problem, so i'm posting a new one.

Since i'm trying to install 0.5.8.7-1 on ubuntu i have this error in Package installer and it looks like this.


And i have libboost-date-time 1.34.1 installed, at least so it shows in Synaptic Package Manager.
Is there any way to solve that little bug?
Its pretty annoying not to be able to install newer version
Thx in advance for any help.

Best regards
noizo

This is the trick you can use.
Extract your deluge package and edit the control file:
Ex: for Hardy package:
1. dpkg -deb --extract deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy
2. dpkg-deb --control deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy/DEBIAN
3. nano (whatever editor you comfortable with) deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy/DEBIAN/control
4. find the line Depends : ... look for libboost-date-time 1.33.1 and change to the version you are currently using (libboost-date-time 1.34.1). Look further for others that might have different version.
5. save when you are done.
6. dpkg --build deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy
7. dpkg -i deluge-torrent_0.5.8.7-1_i386.hardy.deb
8. apt-get -f install

Good luck.

Hello again.

So i have installed deluge-torrent_0.5.8.8-1_i386.feisty thx to oshiri tutorial, and installation process goes fine.
But i cant start deluge now anymore.
From menu it just wont start.
From console type deluge i have this error:

Code: Select all

deluge# deluge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 45, in <module>
    import deluge.core
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/core.py", line 59, in <module>
    import deluge_core
ImportError: libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So now i'm depressed and i cant use deluge at all.
I've tried to install from svn and i had an error also.
I'm not *nix superuser and i just don't know what to do
Thx for any help.

you need libboost-filesystem1.33.1
apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.33.1

[noizo]

I have libboost-filesystem1.34.1 installed, as well as all other libboost packets are 1.34.1
And i dont see the way to downgrade them to 1.31.1
I hate that dependencies stuff

[oshiri]

what you can try is , try making a symbolic link libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1 t0 your current libboost-filesystem lib.
example:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1 libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1
