Version problem

[Antis]

Hello.

I have a rather strange error, I've installed 0.5.7.1 and uninstalled it countless times, but my version of Deluge shows up as 0.5.6.25 no matter what I try. I've even manually deleted the files listed in the package, but nothing works.

A while back I installed a SVN version of Deluge, but I didn't find a proper way of uninstalling it before I installed an official package over it.

I know I have the 0.5.7.* version installed because it includes the advanced WebUI template, the advanced progress bar and the Autoload torrent option, but it still shows up as 0.5.6.25.

The reason I post is because 50% of the times I use the autoload feature Deluge crashes, and seeing as no one else is complaining about this I'm certain my install is corrupted.

Any advice would be helpful!

I ran deluge in the terminal just to see if it popped out any message when it crashed:

Code: Select all

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'libtorrent::invalid_encoding'
what(): invalid bencoding
Aborted

The torrent is autoloaded fine when I restart deluge, there's nothing wrong with the .torrent. Perhaps deluge is trying to load it while it's still being saved to the disk? Anyway the version display bug persists, I have no clue why!

The autoload directory is shared with Samba and the torrent file is transferred through Samba across the network, if that's significant.

to uninstall a SVN, change into the deluge SVN directory and type:

Code: Select all

sudo make uninstall

that should remove the installed SVN version.

as for the crashing with autoload, deluge crashed on me when it was running and I downloaded a torrent into the autoload folder. I didn't bother seeing if it was reproducible, I'll try it again.

ok I uninstalled the official package, checked out and installed a SVN version, did sudo make uninstall to remove it, then reinstalled the official package and now it finally shows 0.5.7.1!

However, it still crashes when autoloading torrent files. Should I make a new topic about it? Current topic is misleading.

yes. also, start deluge from command prompt to get a proper error message
