Transmission-deamon fails to start on Ubuntu 16.04

Post by sputnik »

I've been running Transmission-daemon for a couple of years without issues with the package from the PPA. After a recent update, Transmission-daemon fails to start, and I can't get why it fails.

I uninstalled the version from the PPA and reinstalled the version from Ubuntu's repository, same problem. Reinstalled from the PPA again, same problem.

All I can see from the log is that is fails to read the config file, which hasn't been modified (including its permissions) nor moved.

TIA
