Package: yarssr
Version: 0.2.2-1
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

(0)% rm -rf .yarssr # just to be sure...
(0)% yarssr

# yarssr starts fine and sits itself in the KDE tray. I right-click
# on it, bring up Preferences, and click on the "New" icon. I add the
# name "Slashdot", address "http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot"
# (no quotes, of course) (or any other feed I've tried), and say "Ok".
# Then I get this:

*** unhandled exception in callback:
*** Can't call method "get_host_name" on an undefined value at /usr/share/yarssr/Yarssr/Fetcher.pm line 33.
*** ignoring at /usr/share/yarssr/Yarssr/GUI.pm line 115.

The system tray icon now does not respond (although of course it has
the tooltip "updating...". I have to kill it.

All these are the latest available (of late I've updated roughly every
day or two, and this bug has been present for at least a week or so).
I haven't done anything unusual--some normal upgrade has broken this,
I believe. I tried reinstalling all of these dependencies, but
haven't gone deeper...

Hi,

bug #421684 might be a problem with libgnome2-vfs-perl. Does anyone feel
like checking that? Maybe a recompile is all it takes so solve it, maybe
not.

Greetings,
Joachim

Errm, if a recompile would be needed to fix this, there is some break in
the ABI and we need to file a bug against gnome-vfs. I'm writing this
mail on the train and can thus not look up the context of your mail
(which I would love to have seen as CC), but it's on my todo list
now. It may take some time to come round to look at this issue, though,
so if someone else is interested in checking this - feel free to do so,
just keep me in the loop.
