Unable to start deluged: [('SSL routines', 'SSL_CTX_use_certificate', 'ee key too small')]

Post by pjlbyrne »

Hi,

I just upgrade to latest debian buster and now deluged doesn't start:

16:57:55.420 [ERROR ][deluge.core.daemon_entry :132 ] Unable to start deluged: [('SSL routines', 'SSL_CTX_use_certificate', 'ee key too small')]

Can someone please advise how to fix this?

I synced debian & rebuilt it from 'master' a few days ago.

Thanks

perhaps relevant:

Subject: apt-listchanges: news

openssh (1:7.9p1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

OpenSSH 7.9 includes a number of changes that may affect existing
configurations:

* ssh(1), sshd(8): the setting of the new CASignatureAlgorithms option
bans the use of DSA keys as certificate authorities.
* sshd(8): the authentication success/failure log message has changed
format slightly. It now includes the certificate fingerprint
(previously it included only key ID and CA key fingerprint).

doing 'git pull' on deluge and rebuilding did not help

From the thread 'Deluge daemon fails to start with rpcserver error' I got the idea of backing up & recreating-as-empty my .config/deluge/ssl directory. deluged starts OK now.

An explanation would still be welcome. The old and new cert files appear to be the same size....

Do not pull from master as it is an old build.
Use either '1.3-stable' to get the latest 1.3 version (1.3.15 with some updates) or 'develop' to get the latest 2.0.0 beta.

Oh thanks very much. I actually was on 'develop' - I 'miss-spoke' when I said 'master'!
