deluge error and python libraries

johnnyq · 2025-06-05 12:16:07

After last update deluge outputs:

/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/deluge/ui/ui_entry.py:20: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html.

Looks like the app can't keep up with python libraries.

A temporary solution (not sure if this has any side effects):

In /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pyOpenSSL-25.0.0.dist-info/METADATA, change

Requires-Dist: cryptography<45,>=41.0.5

to

Requires-Dist: cryptography>=41.0.5

Hope this helps!

That worked for me. Thank you very much!

albeit triggering some other warnings:

/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/deluge/pluginmanagerbase.py:16: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.

Yes, At least it starts up. Thanks.

This warning is not caused by my suggested change, it is unrelated and due to Deluge using the `pkg_resources` package.

So now deluge is giving me a core dump.

/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/deluge/ui/ui_entry.py:20: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html.

import pkg_resources
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

and about the only wild guess is there were a few other python libraries (python-pytest, python-rencode, python-typeguard..) updated between it being functional (thanks to @jumbo_t !) and this state.

Hello; today I have updated my arch linux x86_64 machine and now I also cannot fire deluge and deluge-gtk

Completely different errors mean completely different issues. Don't hijack unrelated threads.

Not sure to whom you're admonishing, but this does remain an ongoing issue within the title of the ticket: "deluge error and python libraries".

That is, if deluge is failing due to various python library changes, then it's not clear that each individual error as fixing one reveals yet another should be a separate bug branch.

Having typed that, is it even possible to delete a posting here?

Seems to be fixed now.

The OP was because python-cryptography had outrun pyopenssl and was fixed w/ pyopenssl 25.1 the next day.
The recent coredump happened because python-rencode was compiled march-native and O3 and your CPU isn't as fancy as the build servers' one.

These issues were > 2 weeks apart and completely unrelated and different in nature and origin.
The subject "deluge error and python libraries" is as generic as it gets and would theoretically cover deluge errors caused by your network not being up (and also deluge uses python) - it's also why https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … ow_to_post asks us to "Choose clear, informative subjects."

@johnnyq, please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

As of 2025-09-22 deluge is asserting an exception (again):

/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/deluge/ui/ui_entry.py:20: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html.

this with @jumbo_t 's /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pyOpenSSL-25.0.0.dist-info/METADATA fix applied. That is, deluge was functional for ~3 months after this fix and then has suffered some new library incompatibility. (recently had an update to python-pyparsing might that be it..?)

Thank you folks!

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … thon-cffi/ is flaged out of date, the latest version is the required https://cffi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/w … tml#v2-0-0

raphix · 2025-09-27 16:10:30

And what should we do while waiting for an update of python-cffi?

downgrading deluge to version "deluge-1:2.1.1-8-any.pkg.tar.zst" did not work for me.

seth · 2025-09-27 19:36:30

Idk what's holding up the python-cffi package but you'll likely have to downgrade the other python packages it depends on accordingly or build python-cffi for 2.0 yourself

It doesn't seem anybody has reported this?
