Package: bti
Version: 032-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
Hi. I just installed bti to test it as a command line twitter client,
but it is unable to connect to twitter and report this message:
% bti
Twitter no longer supports HTTP basic authentication.
Both consumer key, and consumer secret are required for bti in order to
behave as an OAuth consumer.
%
I suspect this is a variation of the bug reported in
<URL: http://bugs.debian.org/714032 >, but am not sure.
I'm setting severity to grave, as it make the package in Debian stable
unusable for all twitter users (no idea about identica users), and given
that a lot more people use twitter than identica, it make it unusable
for the majority of potential users. I believe this bug would have been
release critical if discovered before wheezy was released, and thus also
believe it is release critical now.

That means that, well Twitter doesn't support basic auth but only
OAuth since some time :)
Cf. /usr/share/doc/bti/README.Debian.
(Although the instructions also are not correct anymore in 032*;
already fixed: #706104)
But this alone won't help with 032, next you will run into:

Well, it has the some underlying reason: Twitter has changed their
API in March or so.

True.

Well, identi.ca switched from StatusNet to pump.io, which BTI doesn't
support. And StatusNet support (for other instances than identi.ca)
was broken in some version of bti but IIRC that was in 033 (which
fixed Twitter).

Ack.
I'm closing it at 033-1, the first version with fixed Twitter
support, so the BTS still knows it affects stable.
(I guess I should backport the current version from testing ...).
Cheers,
gregor
