Eamonn Hamilton
Version: 0.5.56-1
Severity: normal
Hi, tv_grab_uk_rt fails for me with Date::Manip complaining about the TZ which is set, eben though I've tried setting and exporting TZ to +0000 and this appears to be set in the binary itslef.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Eamonn

It looks like the version of libdate-manip-perl in sid is causing some
TZ-handling code in tv_grab_uk_rt to break. Specifically, the code sets the
TZ to +0000 and then checks that Date_TimeZone returns +0000. In version
6.04 of Date::Manip, it instead returns 'wet' (western european time, which
is +0000, but fails the test in xmltv).
I'm not sure if that code in xmltv is necessary, so I've queried upstream
about that. In the meantime, you can fix the problem by downgrading to the
version of libdate-manip-perl that's in testing, or by commenting out the
call to check_xmltv_tz on line 100 of /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt.
