New Ubuntu PPA version broken?

Post by cshadow »

What is the version in ubuntu PPA, it seems to be broken?
Tried upgrading today (from 3.08) only to find the strange version that doesn't work with the litorrent-rasterbar 7:

Code: Select all

$ qbittorrent 
qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libtorrent-rasterbar.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ sudo apt-cache policy qbittorrent
qbittorrent:
  Installed: 3.0.x-0~4278-20130407~precise1
  Candidate: 3.0.x-0~4278-20130407~precise1
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.x-0~4278-20130407~precise1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/hydr0g3n/qbittorrent-stable/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.9.7-1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages

OK, i downgraded to ubuntu stock libtorrent 6 and after starting qbittorrent it started to wreak havoc on my (seeding) torrents, had to kill the process to stop it. 7GB of files moved or copied to "unfinished" folder :(
Then i checked the forums and found this thread: http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php?topic=1843.0
Installed both the qbittorrent and libtorrent from suggested PPA.
Only to found out that after first start 30+ GB of seeding files that are read only got preallocated again in a couple of seconds in unfinished folder until the disk space ran out.
Cleaned all the mess, restored ~/.config/qBittorrent/ from yesterdays backup. And after starting it again, still the same 40 GB of files were paused on 0%, had to manually recheck. Seems to be working fine now.

And now the question: where the fu*k does qbittorrent keep info about finished/unfinished torrents?
Pardon my language, I'm a bit upset after spending quite some time fixing the "upgrade" :)
Obviously, restoring ~/.config/qBittorrent/ is not enough since still the same files were paused and needed manual recheck.

Since it has similar paths as you've stated, I think it's for Linux.

Yes, that is for linux.
Thank you, i missed that page on the wiki.
I'll try backing up both locations before next upgrade.
