Deluge error across all my distros.

So I've been having this problem for a while. Different things happen depending on whether it's Ubuntu, Mint, Pinguy etc. But this is what's happening with Deluge on Ubuntu 11.10.
I try to open a torrent with Deluge and I get this error message


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/deluge/ui/gtkui/gtkui.py", line 299, in _on_reactor_start

import libtorrent as lt
ImportError: No module named libtorrent


Any ideas? This has never happened before about a few weeks ago. And all of a sudden none of my distros work with Deluge. Strange.

Maybe it's the sites where the torrents are from.

No, this applies to any torrent, including iso's of ubuntu for example.

Not sure but it may be related to this?...

Was this resolved?

The error is simply because you do not have libtorrent installed. Installing deluge or deluge-common from apt-get should also install libtorrent for you.

Straight from the deluge faq

Deluge won't start with a "ImportError: No module named libtorrent" error.

You need to install libtorrent-rasterbar

I had to do this too
