When invoking deluged I get the following error messages:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/deluge/_libtorrent.py:59: RuntimeWarning: to-Python converter for boost::shared_ptr<libtorrent::alert> already registered; second conversion method ignored.
import libtorrent as lt
[ERROR ] 15:23:59 preferencesmanager:502 Unable to load geoip database!
[ERROR ] 15:23:59 preferencesmanager:503 'session' object has no attribute 'load_country_db'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/deluge/core/preferencesmanager.py", line 500, in _on_geoip_db_location
self.session.load_country_db(str(geoip_db))
AttributeError: 'session' object has no attribute 'load_country_db'
according to http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/2902 this is caused by the wrong version of libtorrent being installed (16.10 has libtorrent 1.1.0-3 but apparently deluged needs 1.1.1.)
The error causes the thin client deluge to not be able to connect to the daemon.

I just realised this is not a bug, geoip support was dropped in 1.1 and this is simply a log message from Deluge 1.3 when it encounters the missing method.
See Deluge ticket for details.
