I'm running transmission-daemon as a service, installed from the transmissionbt PPA. It was upgraded from 2.92 to 2.93 today, but the upgrade didn't complete. The software seems to have been installed, but the service refuses to start. After installation the message I get is this:
Code:
Setting up transmission-daemon (2.93-1ubuntu1~16.04.1ubuntu1) ...
Job for transmission-daemon.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status transmission-daemon.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript transmission-daemon, action "start" failed.

dpkg: error processing package transmission-daemon (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
transmission-daemon
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The daemon runs manually from the CLI invoked with sudo -u debian-transmission, so I'm guessing that systemd is having a problem dropping the privileges of the daemon after it starts. How can I fix this?
