Cannot Start Deluge - stderr output

[ghost]

I saw one issue opened for this but the user closed it as it resolved itself the next day. I've had this issue for about three days now trying to completely remove the containers and volumes, redownloading, etc. I have two containers running in parallel, which I've done all year, and am only getting this in one of them.

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is still an issue by the way, I have to restart the container like every five minutes.

Not really a fix but I've found if you go into config/state, and remove all of that it will restart. You can also move them elsewhere and try re uploading.

Thanks, where are you looking for "config / state"?

ah right, i found it in the files. that gets rid of all the current downloads right? then i need to do a fresh load of the torrents?
