Bug Description

Binary package hint: deluge

Deluge is no longer compatible with Python 2.4 and syntax errors are thrown during the installation. Judging from the errors it seems pretty easy to restore 2.4 compatibility. I'm sure this belongs upstream but I haven't sorted out the Debian preferred means of specifying Python versions. I've attached a debdiff that specifies Python >= 2.5 in the control file and works. However, it is probably incomplete.

Acknowledged.

I'll fix this in the upload of the next version (1.1.3) to unstable, if
you agree.

Thanks,

This bug was fixed in the package deluge - 1.1.3+dfsg-1

---------------
deluge (1.1.3+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
    - the source code licensing issue with the file deluge/metafile.py has
      been solved by upstream, so the tarball repackaging is actually only
      due to the GeoIP database; the torrent creation feature has been
      reenabled while the related patch has been dropped away.
    - debian/patches:
      + 20-torrent_creation.dpatch: deleted (no more needed);
      + 30-manpages.dpatch: deleted (merged upstream).
    - debian/NEWS, debian/README.source: updated info about repackaging and
      the new torrent creation feature.
  * debian/control:
    - build only against python >=2.5 (Closes: #515549, LP: #329836);
    - depends and build-depends on python-libtorrent >= 0.14.1;
    - updated description for the package deluge-console using 'console ui'
      instead of 'null ui'.
  * debian/README.Debian: install a different README file for deluge-core,
    deluge-console and deluge-webui.
  * debian/changelog: switch to a new naming scheme to make lintian happy
    (dfsg-version-with-period).
  * debian/copyright: updated.
