Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

The recent fix for bug 542194 has disabled RPC by default for transmission-daemon for new users. It requires them to enable rpc manually which is further complicated by the bug 571097 as changing /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json doesn't work as expected.

TEST CASE:
1) With transmission-daemon 1.92-0ubuntu2 installed you can see that running transmission-remote -n transmission:transmission -l will result in:
    [15:21:03.394] transmission-remote: (localhost:9091) Couldn't connect to server
2) purge package transmission-daemon (it will remove user configuration but that problem only affects users who do a clean install)
3) install transmission-daemon from lucid-proposed, running transmission-remote -n transmission:transmission -l should result in:
    ID Done Have ETA Up Down Ratio Status Name
    Sum: None 0.0 0.0
