Deluge Forum

Hi, my deluge daemon failed to restart after 'pacman -Syu' this morning.

This appears to be bacause deluge package could no longer be imported. Fair enough I would just build and install it again from the git repo.

This fails:
/home/anselm/repos/deluge/setup.py:18: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
from distutils import cmd

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Can someone please advise? It looks as though deluge is using distutils which is removed now.

Cheers

I installed python-wheel and python-setuptools & python-wheel that fixed it.

Yeah I think this is a packaging issue to report to Arch.

I will look into replacing distutils usage

I couldn't reproduce on arch btw, I mean the repo package update from 'pacman -Syu'. Try a reboot if testing that again, just in case(package had py3.9.x to 3.10.x dep rebuild etc, didnt think reboot should be needed for that specifically, but regardless - I didn't, but neither had deluged running before the update, and not using systemd for the deluged startup/shutdown either)

Thanks for reporting build issue, and to Cas for the early Christmas gift, appreciated

For reference both setuptools and wheel packages are required dependencies for setup.py so not surprised. I can't remember what I was solving with wheel requirement but it's easily available so won't change that.

The distutils package is deprecated so not removed yet, so only warnings for now and replacing usage in setup.py is rather tricky.

No problem mhertz, I'll try to keep the momentum and be more regular than bi-yearly releases

Thanks for picking this up guys.

..And thanks for your great work on deluge. I find it indispensable.
