Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

Using Ubuntu Maverick (10.10), after upgrading from transmission-common (2.04-0ubuntu2) to 2.05-0ubuntu0.1
 and from transmission-gtk (2.04-0ubuntu2) to 2.05-0ubuntu0.1 (upgrades from maverick-proposed), web interface stop working properly. It appears in the web browser, but does not show any torrent at all, and does not respond to "clicks" on buttons.

I've tested it on two different systems, with the same result.

Reverting to plain maverick's version works, but I think it should be fixed anyway.

Regards,
Alejandro

I fixed a problem.
Bug in transmission.js
Replace /usr/share/transmission/web/javascript/transmission.js with older version.

Hi Roman,

you are right. Thanks to point out the problem. The new transmission.js includes what seems to be an incorrectly merged code, where there is some "else" code without respective "if" code. Additionally, an initial "}" before the "else" actually closes the function.

I replaced the .js with the one from the previous version of transmission and everything works ok. Packagers, please use previous version of transmission.js, since those invalid lines are the only change from previous version.

Regards

Accepted transmission into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi Martin,

I have tested the new upgrade and it does solve the problem. Additionally, it can be hot-upgraded, that is, upgraded when transmission is still running without any problem.

Thanks,
Alejandro
