Deluged not compatable with current python packages

After a reboot this morning deluged would not start. Journalctl showed:

deluged fails to start with [ERROR ][deluge.core.daemon_entry :1653] Unable to start deluged: 'unknown name in settings_pack: ignore_resume_timestamps'

`deluged -d -L debug` showed:

15:21:40 [INFO ][deluge.core.daemon :1653] Deluge daemon 2.2.0 
15:21:40 [DEBUG ][deluge.core.core :1653] Starting session (peer_id: -DE220s-, user_agent: Deluge/2.2.0 libtorrent/2.1.0.0)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ KeyError: 'unknown name in settings_pack: ignore_resume_timestamps' 15:21:40 [INFO ][deluge.core.daemon_entry :1653] Exiting.

Took about an hour but I finally found out what was going on, and how to fix it until deluge gets an update. It looks like some stuff got deprecated in python-pyopenssl that deluge relied. on (chatgpt thinks its a call to crypto.X509Req). Steps to get deluge working again:

sudo pacman -U python-pyopenssl-26.2.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst libtorrent-rasterbar-1:2.0.13-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst libtorrent-0.16.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst python-cryptography-48.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 

It looks like deluge closed their system to report bugs, and I don't think this is an Arch package bug (though it could be?). Wasn't sure where else to post this, but I hope it helps anyone else with this issue.

Re: Deluged not compatable with current python packages

Please don’t cross-post. It’s better to post in a wrong forum than to send to multiple.

I dropped a message about the issue in their IRC channel yesterday. Let’s hope it reaches the right people.

The cause is libtorrent dropping a deprecated feature (`ignore_resume_timestamps` key) in 2.1 release. Deluge still has that in code.

You can report it for the dustbin.

Re: Deluged not compatable with current python packages

That is my reported ticket (created it after my first post). Old convo has been dust binned. Thanks!
