Latest update is broken!

Post by gh0st »

Recently I updated my server, and with that also to the latest version of Transmission (2.92).

But, it all ends up with a timeout;
sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon transmission-cli transmission-common

And then it halts there...

But when checking dpkg.log I found this;

2016-12-20 12:53:48 status triggers-pending ureadahead:amd64 0.100.0-19

2016-12-20 12:53:48 status half-configured transmission-daemon:amd64 2.92-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
What more do I need to check?

Update:

After sometime it ends up with this;
Job for transmission-daemon.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status transmission-daemon.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript transmission-daemon, action "start" failed.

More updates;

When I do a "sudo systemctl start transmission-daemon.service" it takes ages for it to complete even though the service is started...
And I have also point in local.conf to write to a log-file with no result.

"[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --logfile /etc/transmission-daemon/error.log
"

Well, seems the latest version is totally broken...

Since you're using systemctl and quoting the unit file, I wonder why the logs you provide mention "LSB". Looks like the system is using /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon script to manage the daemon, not the unit file. Could you check if this file exists, and try renaming/removing it?
