Similar problems on Ubuntu 9.04 - after upgrade to 1.1.8 using Synaptic and PPA deluge would startup - but hang with a blank screen.

Running daemon in foreground with -d switch got a "No module named libtorrent" error.

Realized what was wrong from previous posts - fixed without using apt interface.

Solution using synaptic only:
  • Remove all deluge packages, python-libtorrent, libtorrent-rasterbar2
  • Disable PPA repository
  • Reinstall deluge & required packages
  • From menu Package->Lock Version for python-libtorrent & libtorrent-rasterbar2
  • Enable PPA repository
  • Update deluge packages
Everything works ok again - just have to keep a eye out for libtorrent updates to manually enable.

Yeah just the PPA updates from today for python-libtorrent and libtorrent-rasterbar.
So anything with 14.4 has the potential to be poison...(I am sure there were two versions of each that came through in PPA repo updates this morning...like a jaunty3 and jaunty4 or something like that.)

libtorrent-rasterbar - 0.14.4-0ubuntu1~jaunty5 was just published on the PPA and should fix the problem.

Ubuntu decided to change standard installation location for python packages..
