Deluged stopped working on debian, "FFI object has no attribute 'new_allocator'"

[he-man]

Running deluged on debian server. I have automatic updates and needed to reboot my server, after rebooting deluge is dead. Tried reinstalling and rebooting the machine, same error persists. I assume there might be a dependency issue with openssl?

uname -a
