Cannot start deluge

[tim-m89]

Here's what happens when I try to start deluge from a terminal. Recompiled deluge and all its direct dependencies didn't fix it. Any ideas?:

% deluge

It looks like it has an issue with your installed Python. What version do you have installed?

If you are able to build it, then you have the required ports/packages to do so. Yet, do you have the required ones to run it? You can check your installed ports/packages against the ones required to run it 'net-p2p/deluge' and see if you are missing any (install as needed).

The actual error that is hit, line 130 of ipcinterface.py seems like bad code that may have not been tested:

            if os.path.lexists(lockfile):
                try:
                    os.kill(int(os.readlink(lockfile)), 0)

...when you consider the return values of the api used by I'm no python expert. I tried making sure the lockfile didn't exist by running this:

% rm -R ~/.config/deluge/ipc

And now my deluge starts ok. :e
