Sabnzbd 4.0.3-0ubuntu1~jcfp1~22.04 fails to start

[makalsky]

Hi all,
I had sabnzbd working for a few years now.
Today after a reboot, it failed to start.
I purged it from the system and did a clean install, but it still fails to start with the following:
pastebin .com/2K1yEEad

This boils down to sabnzbd not being able to import guessit python package.
running python3 in console and trying to do:
import guessit

results in the same error.


Sabnzbd is the only package on my system that depends on guessit.
guessit package version is 3.4.3-1

on Ubuntu 22.04

Any help, greatly appreciated.

This boils down to sabnzbd not being able to import guessit python package.
running python3 in console and trying to do:
import guessit

results in the same error.

So a problem with python3 package guessit on your Ubuntu, and not with SABnzbd itself?

I usually take the bruteforce trial-and-error approach:

Uninstall python3-guessit, make sure it's gone (so: "import guessit" results in module not found), reinstall and try again.

If still not OK:
uninstall sabnzbdplus
make sure guessit is gone
then reinstall sabnzbdplus
try again

but ... trial-and-error

I hope you did not install guessit via pip, because that would make the problem more difficult.

So something related to locales, system languages etc. got broken.
Upgrading to newer ubuntu release solved it, for whatever reason.

Thanks
