Hi Bert: Thanks for the bug report.
I'm curious why this isn't considered a bug against xmltv-util. The upstream maintainer made the interface changes and we simply carried them through into Debian... If there's something the pkg-perl group can do about our (libdate-manip-perl) package to help alleviate this issue, we'd love to hear it. Otherwise, we're just sort of at a loss as to what to do about this; the NEWS file released with that version does note these serious changes: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-perl/trunk/libdate-manip-perl/debian/NEWS?revision=47970&view=markup (You would have seen these messages upon upgrade if you had apt-listchanges installed) Cheers, Jonathan On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 3:27 PM, Bert Riding <rerid...@xmission.com> wrote: > Package: libdate-manip-perl > Version: 5.54-1 > Severity: normal > > > I use the tv_grab_na_dd script from xmltv-util to download and process tv > listing data > from Schedules Direct.
