[fixed in 1.1.8 @5254] deluge crashed with OSError in __init__()

the -c option is to specify a config folder.. You are doing it wrong.

I've added an error message to trunk..

This bug was fixed in the package deluge - 1.1.8+dfsg-3

deluge (1.1.8+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - depends on python-chardet;
    - add Suggests: python-openssl for deluge-webui (Closes: #530688).

      the torrent file to decode some strings;
    - fix_uncaught_exceptions_systemtray_r5305.patch: prevent some uncaught
      exceptions when systemtray is not enabled.

deluge (1.1.8+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
    - bugs fixed in 1.1.7:
      + version not uploaded in Debian (Closes: #528531, LP: #376032);
      + fix crashes during shutdown (LP: #343088);

  * Don't depend on hardcoded python version in debian/control and
    debian/deluge*.install; use --install-layout=deb in debian/rules.
    This should reduce the Ubuntu diff thus allowing to build with
    python2.6 (thanks Andrew) (Closes: #519650).
  * debian/deluge-webui.README.Debian: right command is 'deluge -u web'
    (Closes: #525649).
