Updating to Experimental\Deluge (Solved)

[dlalias2k1]

So I've been a fan of Deluge for a number of years.
It's had alot of features that I find beneficial.
Somehow I've tracked the issue down in bugtrackers to a bug in libtorrent-rasterbar. For some reason libtorrent-rasterbar seems to be stagnant compared to other sources, even when checked in sid repos proper. Is it as simple as the maintainer just hasn't updated the package?

This is more for my personal education than anything else. To resolve the issue, I think I'm just going to switch to Transmission for future needs.

Thanks!

Hopefully, Transmission works better for you than it did for me. It had problems making connections (the dialog where you test whether the port is open would often come back 'unknown'). I switched to Deluge and all is well.

Think that the maintainer is working on updating the libtorrent-rasterbar6 package as noted in this bug report:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704216

There is an updated package in experimental so why not try it to see if it installs so that you can then try deluge to see if the bugs you encountered are fixed

Thanks DeepDayze

Using Deluge would be preferable as well. I got libtorrent-raster7 installed from experimental, but because of the way dependencies work, my I believe my Deluge is still using Libtorrent-rasterbar6 and is crashing.

Do i need to pull Deluge AND libtorrent-rasterbar7 from experimental? If not, how do I remove Libtorrent-rasterbar6 and point deluge to libtorrent-rasterbar7 without breaking the dependency issue?

Thanks

apt-get -t experimental install deluge should upgrade both deluge and libtorrent-rasterbar7.

hmm thought libtorrent-rasterbar7 would replace the broken -6 version. If the version of deluge is not liking the new libtorrent then maybe try the new version of deluge in experimental.

[dlalias2k1]

Indeed, I added the experimental repo and
went the "apt-get -t experimental install deluge" route.

The newest version of the deluge and libtorrent is now working on my system. However the joke is on me, cause apparently the crash issue still isn't resolved as of experiemental yet.

Thanks for the information though guys!

I did just think of a question. By using the experimental version, will my system always use the experimental version of deluge now, or will it upgrade back to sid as the sid version rolls forward.

I'm assuming that the experimental version will always be installed until i were to remove it and roll it back to sid.

Thanks

Somewhere i read the crashing issue will be resolved  in version 1.36, but that is not in Debian yet. Let's wait ... and do not try to stop those damned torrents!!!

No, if there's a version in Sid that's newer than the one you have installed from experimental then it will get installed (provided all deps are met which could change in the new version)
