   Package: transmission-daemon   
   Version: 4.1.0~beta2+dfsg-3+deb13u1   
   Severity: important   
      
   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   Recently I replaced Debian 12 32-bit with Debian 13 64-bit and   
   transmission-daemon stopped working.   
      
   I don't use the system-run daemon so I stopped and disabled it:   
      
   $ sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop   
   $ sudo update-rc.d transmission-daemon disable   
      
   I start the daemon manually under my user (phd):   
      
   $  /usr/bin/transmission-daemon --version   
   [2026-02-13T16:39:28.460+0300]   
   utils.cc:156: Couldn't read   
   '/home/phd/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json': Permission denied   
   (13) transmission-daemon 4.1.0-beta.2 (ac5c9e082d)   
      
   $ /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f   
   utils.cc:156: Couldn't read   
   '/home/phd/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json': Permission denied   
   (13)   
      
   After that it starts but when I open web-ui it reports an error   
   "Cannot open /usr/share/transmission/public_html/index.html: Permission denied"   
      
   What's that? Both files are certainly accessible:   
      
   $ ls -l /home/phd/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json   
   -rw-r--r-- 1 phd phd 3184 Feb 11 15:43 /home/phd/.config/transmi   
   sion-daemon/settings.json   
      
   $ wc -l /home/phd/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json   
   97 /home/phd/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json   
      
   $ ls -l /usr/share/transmission/public_html/index.html   
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9383 Mar 11  2025 /usr/share/transmission   
   public_html/index.html   
      
   $ wc -l /usr/share/transmission/public_html/index.html   
   258 /usr/share/transmission/public_html/index.html   
      
   The daemon is not setuid/stgid:   
      
   $ ls -l /usr/bin/transmission-daemon   
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3070728 Aug 23 19:17 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon   
      
   Does it put itself into some kind of protected/restricted environment?   
   chroot? namespaces? How to fix it?
