[SOLVED] Deluge kept crashing, upgraded - won't even start!

Question

Hello,
I've been googling this for a while, and haven't found any answers. I've been using Deluge without any issues since 2008, but since I migrated to Arch, it's been crashing randomly. After crashing, the UI wouldn't display my torrents, but something was clearly going on, since my external HDD where my downloads are got turned on (it goes into standby when not used).  So, I updated it (sudo pacman -S deluge), and that didn't help at all. Today, I figured I'd upgrade some other stuff aswell to see if that'd help. I upgraded libtorrent, libtorrent-rasterbar, python, and some other python-related packages.
Now, if I click the deluge icon, it launches and closes straight away. If I launch it from terminal I get:
[pauli@vaio ~]$ deluge

I've tried upgrading everything crypto related, but that doesn't help either.
deluge 1.2.3-4 + libtorrent-rasterbar 0.15.0-4 + libtorrent 0.12.6-2 + python 2.6.5-3 (also latest pygtk etc.)
Does anyone know of a way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
there seems to be something wrong with libcrypto, I can't launch transmission either!

Ok, so after messing around with all kinds of things and rebooting, my xserver stopped working. So I did a full update, and now it works again.
I guess the reason for this is that older packages are compiled for libcrypto 0.9 and libssl 0.9, and since I updated those, it failed??? In any case, it works now. I also had to do ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.0.9.8 and ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.0.9.8 to get pacman running, but removed the links once the upgrading was done.
Not quite sure if Deluge still keeps crashing, only time will tell.
