they are wrong. I don't say that akregator should'nt be more robust to bad encoded entities, but the spec for RSS is xml, and in xml you have to put things like that : <tag>put an ampersand : &</tag> OR <tag><![CDATA[put an ampersand : &]]></tag> any other solution is NOT correct, so you can bug debianplanet too. or the python module they use. the bug is well known ([1] : funny, it is a debian planet problem too), and is Qt's fault, since akregator uses the Qt xml API that has a very strict (but also correct) parser. anyway, the bug is certainly not important, at most normal, since it only stop the fetch of the faulty feed, and not of the others.
