I had this problem as well. Upgraded from 1.19 to 1.20. using arch x86_64 with gnome 2.28 (all latest pacman update except testing(as of 13 jan). 1.20 wouldn't start up. Installing python-chardet fixed problem.

Discussion with wonder on IRC resolved that headless functions fine without this package.

Although the daemon runs fine without these packages, the UIs will not. Until deluge can be split into deluged and deluge (upstream) though, it is easier to add the package if required, than to subsequently remove it.
