Deluge gives 'warning' newer version is available on start

[Anders]

Binary package hint: deluge-torrent

Upon starting, the latest version of deluge in the Hardy repositories, gives a "warning" message that a newer version is available and offers the user to go to http://download.deluge-torrent.org/

I would suggest the Ubuntu backport repositories be updated or this behaviour be changed in the default client

I agree and confirm the bug on Ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 amd64

Here's a reference for the problem:

Does this problem still occur with Hardy and Intrepid, now that deluge 1 has been released?

Does anyone know if it occurs with the deluge 1 release itself?

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

deluge (1.1.2.dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
    - upstream tarball has been repackaged due to a problem with the file
      deluge/metafile.py, which is released with a non-dfsg free license (in
      addition to the old issue with GeoIP database);
    - debian/README.source: updated info about repackaging;
    - debian/copyright: new and updated copyright notes and files;

Also, this:

  * Update 002-Do_not_check_for_update_as_default.dpatch to disable also

@Hew: Yes, I still see this. (I have a fully updated 8.10 install, and I see Deluge 0.5.9.3 with "new version available" warnings.

I've nominated it for hardy and intrepid releases, perhaps the developers/packagers can apply the patch for it.
