I worked around this by compiling intrepid's version of transmission (1.34) with hardy libs (there are some handy features in 1.34 that are worth having in addition to this bugfix)
#get intrepid 1.34 source package (assuming you have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list) cd /tmp sudo sed -i s/hardy/intrepid/ /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get source transmission sudo sed -i s/intrepid/hardy/ /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update #install build-deps, among them: libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtk2.0-dev build-essential # (you might need others) sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtk2.0-dev build-essential # build and install sudo chown -R `whoami` transmission-1.34 cd transmission-1.34 sh configure --enable-gtk --enable-libnotify --enable-cli --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install # pin transmission: echo transmission-common hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo transmission-gtk hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections # then clean up build dependencies you don't want lying around, source files, etc. # note that when you upgrade to the next ubuntu version you'll probably need to unpin transmission pin transmission: echo transmission-common hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo transmission-gtk hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections Good luck! -- Transmission doesn't open torrents via Firefox 3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
