Expected behaviour

service should run

Actual behaviour

service fails

Are you sure? Because of SABnzbd failing after last Dietpi Update

petermoffat · 5 August 2025 13:58

I did see that post, my behavior is different, from what I can see, that poster appears to be able to start the service, and it crashes when they add a file, mine does not start at all. Posts between when I read that and posted this seem to indicate there is a SAB issue, so you are likely correct that this is related. I will monitor that thread and the SAB issue on github.

you would need to share the whole service log

journalctl -u sabnzbd

seems to be similar to this one double free or corruption (!prev) · Issue #3124 · sabnzbd/sabnzbd · GitHub which has been closed as duplicate of Crash when start download · Issue #3122 · sabnzbd/sabnzbd · GitHub

For me it seems to be same according to Sab guys. However you can try to report at their GitHub to check if it is different.

petermoffat · 5 August 2025 17:38

It looks like they are in fact the same issue, and the fix provided there has got me back up on my end.

To close the loop for everyone finding this, the issue is known by the sabnzbd team who are working on a fix, temporary solution is to downgrade libssl:

sudo apt-get install libssl3=3.0.16-1~deb12u1
