This is exactly like
https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/8123

I figured I'd wait for transmission-daemon 4.1.1 to be in Debian before reporting a bug,
in case it was solved already.
But it isn't.

To reproduce:
"click on a magnet link in a browser that has transmission registered for magnet links".

It will show "Unable to add torrent".

Same problem from command line:
fragments "magnet:?xt=..."

However, copy the link, open Fragments, and it recognize the magnet link from clipboard.

Hi,

I've made a MR here:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/fragments/-/merge_requests/2

I've been testing it, and it works well.

I also can add the patch and upload the package, if nobody has the time to do it.

Thank you for identifying the fix. I merged your proposal, but I'm
hesitating to upload it because fragments is part of a large rust-*
transition that I don't want to delay.
