Package: transmission-daemon Version: 2.92-2 Severity: normal File: transmission
Dear Maintainer, While attempting to download a purchase from Humble Bundle, which provides .torrent download options, I stumbled across an issue triggered by the torrent file for MiniMetro. transmission-daemon's directory watch feature failed to load the file with a metadata error. Attempting to use transmission-show resulted in the same error: [2017-05-07 19:40:24.417] dinosaurpoloclub/MiniMetro-gamma19a-linux.tar.gz: Invalid metadata entry "path" Error parsing .torrent file "MiniMetro-gamma19a-linux.tar.gz.torrent" I was able to open the file using the Python library "bencode", and saw that there was no "path" metadata entry, and that the torrent was for a single file with the info/name entry "dinosaurpoloclub/MiniMetro-gamma19a-linux.tar.gz". Removing "dinosaurpoloclub/" from that entry was enough to allow the torrent to work. I did a bit of searching, and it looks like having a full path in the info/name entry is valid (although I've never seen it before, bep 3 doesn't seem to prohibit it) It may also be worth noting that the "dinosaurpoloclub" folder did not exist on my computer -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages transmission-daemon depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.52.1-5 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-3 ii libminiupnpc10 1.9.20140610-2.1 ii libnatpmp1 20110808-4+b1 ii libssl1.1 1.1.0e-1 ii libsystemd0 232-22 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii transmission-common 2.92-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages transmission-daemon recommends: ii transmission-cli 2.92-2 transmission-daemon suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json' -- no debconf information
