Deluge 1.1.9 PPA build, libtorrent dependency

[r0ckarong]

When I try to install 1.1.9 on my Jaunty machine from the PPA I get an error stating that python-libtorrent is 0.14.2 instead of 0.14.4 but you guys don't provide an updated libtorrent package in the PPA, the version there is also 0.14.2 doesn't that make the package obsolete because it can't be installed by anyone that doesn't find an updated libtorrent library somewhere? Maybe the necessary packages will end up there eventually but right now there is no proper way to update just using the PPA.

libtorrent 0.14.4 is in our PPA..

Oh well, nevermind, I shouldn't try to update packages that late at night. The package names confused me because they're 0.1.44.4-2 .

Hi,

I'm running ubuntu jaunty, and I'm using the PPA repository.

An update installed libtorrent-rasterbar4 (0.14.4-2~jaunty~ppa2)
Now I cannot install miro anymore, because it requires libtorrent-rasterbar2....

How to have both deluge and miro installed ?

Thanks.

I know in some cases it gives you multiple options if you select 'no' on the first install 'suggestion'

the same for me. This is a 'light' example of what may happens when a third party repo provides updated libraries.

However I update, cause I don't use Miro often.

I wasn't going to use the PPA after the problems with the last updates. But then when 1.1.9 came out I wanted it (since each release squashes a few more of the bugs) and getdeb were too slow getting packages up.

I let the PPA update both libtorrent and the deluge packages and no problems at all this time. I should lock versions now and let others be the guinea pigs for the PPA updates next time around (or at least not be so quick to let synaptic update when I am notified).

Deluge is definitely starting up more reliably with the 2.6.30 kernel too (though this is probably just coincidence

I have this same exact conflict too. (I'm on Jaunty AMD64.)
I contacted the Miro developers here: http://getsatisfaction.com/participator ... rasterbar2 but they can't reproduce the problem.
There's a bug report filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/388541 but it was closed because the problem isn't in their repo either.

How can this be resolved?

@dalesd

thay can't reproduce the problem cause it is not Miro, the problem is that Deluge PPA includes a library which conflicts with the Ubuntu version: it is libtorrent-rasterbar4. And the same is the answer you had on Launchpad.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite ... =rasterbar

as you can see hereover, in karmic there will be libtorrent-rasterbar4: so Deluge Team (PPA) will not need to package such a library; and we could only wish that all of the software which need rasterbar will choose this version.

But the problem is, at all, you should never touch libraries.

That version of libtorrent contains a fix for a security issue.. It is advised you use it over the older version of libtorrent.
