Some clarification about esniper's message: esniper does never refuse to run when a new version is available. In normal operation it does not even check for updates.
In your case it found a bug as it tells in the first sentence. In most cases such a bug is caused by incompatible changes on ebay's site. And in this case it "refuses to run" because it cannot parse ebay's pages to find the data required to continue. As you can see, esniper prepares a bug report. Before suggesting to report the bug, it checks if a newer version has been released on sf.net. If yes, it suggests to try the new version, because the incompatibility might already be fixed. But if you really want you can submit the bug report anyway. I think we will rephrase the message to make it more clear. (I'm the current maintainer on sf.net and I found this bug report accidentally.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511855 Title: Program checks for updated version and refuses to run when there is one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/esniper/+bug/511855/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
