[rtorrent/libtorrent] issues + [amule] recompile req

[mon]

Hello,
running ALARM on ARM5; recently updated rtorrent/libtorrent from 0.9.2-2/0.13.3.-2 to the current 0.9.3-2/0.13.3-2 and everything stopped working — debug log showed failed handshakes "message:7 network error" and failed every dl/ul. Had to recompile and rollback to 0.9.2-2/0.13.2-2, all is fine now.

Also, amuleweb needs a recompile:
:: Starting amuleweb [DONE]
~ /usr/bin/amuleweb: error while loading shared libraries: libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Obviously, a symlink to libpng16 doesn't work.

Thank you

Don't know about libtorrent, but for amuleweb https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/issues/480

I've just upgraded to rtorrent 0.9.3-2 aswell, and am having issues on my ARMv5te DreamPlug. The following crash occurs when using DHT:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

I'm also looking at downgrading to an earlier rtorrent package now aswell.

anyone here can pls tellme how to run rtorrent as a user??

I must chime in here also. Been running rtorrent for over a year, after the upgrade to 0.9.3 suddenly it seems broken. Starts, pretends to check in with trackers, etc. but no takers come along, after a couple of minutes it crashes. I've been downgrading to 0.9.2 for a couple of weeks, still no problem with it. Just reinstalled all my packages today (not the base install though) and I concede there may be corruption. I use only usb sticks and on reboots it seems there's a 50/50 chance I have to repair disk errors. Yeah, they suck, but power efficiency is primary for me. The only thing holding me back from a fresh install (besides the hassle) is that you fellows are having trouble too.

Try these: I basically just recompiled them, first libtorrent, then rtorrent with my libtorrent installed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15043728/ArchLinuxArm/libtorrent/libtorrent-0.13.3-3-arm.pkg.tar.xz http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15043728/ArchLinuxArm/rtorrent/rtorrent-0.9.3-3-arm.pkg.tar.xz')

If they work, then we will need to recompile them, if they do the same thing then the bug is upstream in one of those.

I'm pretty busy ATM, but I think I will be able to test it and report this weekend.

[doragasu1]

Tested, and unfortunately it's not working . As with 0.9.3-2 version, rtorrent starts and doesn't output errors, but does neither seed nor download torrents.

I wonder what the problem might be, as 0.9.3 version works flawlessly in x64 arch.

Edit: By the way, does anyone have v0.9.2 packages available? I don't have them, and to go back to 0.9.2 version, I have to restore an old system backup. It would be a lot easier for me just to downgrade rtorrent/libtorrent.

[sputnik]

I have the 9.2 rtorrent & matching libtorrent. I sent doragasu1 a pm, but I thought if anyone else needs them, happy to send them along. Just pm me, I'll check in every couple of days. Or ping me @ #archlinux-arm, sputnik_too.

I can now confirm for sure rtorrent/libtorrent are broken. I had finally time to build libtorrent 0.13.2-2-arm and rtorrent-0.9.2-2-arm, downgraded to these packages, and rtorrent started working again. In case anyone needs the old packages, grab them while they are hot:

libtorrent-0.13.2-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz
rtorrent-0.9.2-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz
