Hi, this bug was introduced upstream with 1.4.16 and has been fixed upstream with version 1.4.18:
http://liferea.blogspot.com/2008/07/fix-for-100-cpu-usage-problem.html The bug causes datasets in the database not to be deleted, which makes the database grow and grow and Liferea slowing down more and more. Since it's a bug which gets worse the more you use Liferea it should be fixed for Lenny IMHO since it would make Liferea unusable after some time. I therefore suggest to check if the other changes from 1.4.16 to 1.4.18 are sufficient for an update in Testing, or otherwise, to backport the fix for this bug to 1.4.16. Regarding the changelogs, 1.4.18 is clearly a bugfix only release: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=87005&release_id=616011 1.4.17 seems to introduce some new functionality, but to me it looks as if it was added to tackle this bug which has been finally fixed with 1.4.18: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=615049&group_id=87005 Regards, Axel -- Axel Beckert - [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://noone.org/abe/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
