What I've tried:
Pulled down the source for 1.0.3 from sourceforge and unpacked it. Tried swapping out the versions in the /usr/share folder and restarting the service (sudo service sabnzbdplus stop/start). It gives me an error:
Code: Select all
Job for sabnzbdplus.service failed. See 'systemctl status sabnzbdplus.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
Code: Select all
sabnzbdplus.service - LSB: SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/sabnzbplus)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since [date here]
Process: 4008 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 4197 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Code: Select all
No journal files were found.
Obviously, swapping back the sabnzbdplus folder (v0.7.18) restores full functionality. So, clearly there is something in the /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus script that doesn't play well with the newer v1.0.3.
Not sure if this is the best/only approach to get the latest version of sabnzbd on this machine. Sure wish I could simply "apt-get install" v1.0.3. I understand that v1.0.2 is in "testing/stretch" source and that v1.0.3 is in the "unstable/sid" source. I did try to setup my sources to allow installing it from "testing/stretch", but when I went to install it that way, the list of packages to upgraded/installed was SO extensive, that I shied away from it -- I didn't want to drift too far away from stable/Jessie.
Sorry to be such a NOOB, but I'm kinda frustrated at this point. I'm sure others have this same question as well. Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated. Don't know what this is such a stickler. Thanks in advance.
