Hi.

I upgraded my RPi3 running DietPi to bullseye yesterday and am now getting this error from sabnzbd:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/etc/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/dirscanner.py", line 223, in ProcessSingleFile
    nzo_info=nzo_info, url=url, reuse=reuse, dup_check=dup_check)
  File "/etc/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/nzbstuff.py", line 614, in __init__
    work_name = sanitize_foldername(work_name)
  File "/etc/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/misc.py", line 342, in sanitize_foldername
    uFL_ILLEGAL = FL_ILLEGAL.decode('cp1252')
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp1252

python3 --version returns Python 3.9.2

Thanks for any thoughts I might follow up on.

This code is from an ancient verison of SABnzbd. What version are you running? Most likely an very old one.. So upgrade.

Ugh. You're right. I'm at 2.3.9 [03c10dc]. I'll try to track down the command I need within dietpi to get this upgraded. Thanks for your time, safihre.
