'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

I recently updated my distro from jessie to bullseye and reinstalled deluged and deluge-console.
I can't set the download location with deluge-console anymore.

This is the command I'm running

Code: Select all

deluge-console config --set download_location /media/hdd

This is the output

Code: Select all

This is my configuration:

deluged 2.0.3
deluge-console 2.0.3
libtorrent: 1.2.9.0
Python: 3.9.2
OS: Linux Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 bullseye

Fixed in later release, if wanted can apply it to deluge 2.0.3 with:

Code: Select all

sudo find /usr -path "*/deluge/ui/console/cmdline/commands/config.py" -exec sh -c 'curl https://github.com/deluge-torrent/deluge/commit/2f1c008a26b50ab3487bd03bcabb39347d441f23.patch | patch {}' \;

(A couple chunks will state failed, but just disregard because related to missing test files not included in packaged deluge releases, and so the 4 succeded chunks are the relevant ones here anyway - I was to lazy to cut there headers out in added extra pipe, or remake patch, when not important for end-result anyways)

It worked, thank you!

Much welcome buddy, and sorry missed your post initially
