Agreed. I've dug into this bug, and I can tell you the exact problem. ploader is using libwx-perl, and newer versions of libwx-perl are no longer exposing the ParseDate() method from the WxWidgets library underneath. This changed when WxWidgets went to version 2.9 - see the code in libwx-perl-0.9923/ext/datetime/XS/DateTime.xsp. It probably wouldn't be too hard to fix this particular bug, but: * I agree that upstream doesn't look very active at all * the copyright file is currently also RC-buggy (the link http://piwigo.org/ext/download.php?eid=269 currently returns a copy of pLoader-1.5_ubuntu.tar.gz, *not* 1.6 of anything, and I don't see any mention of 1.6 anywhere either. * there are only a tiny number of users AFAICS It's up to you as the maintainer, but I'd be very tempted to file for removal at this point. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "...In the UNIX world, people tend to interpret `non-technical user' as meaning someone who's only ever written one device driver." -- Daniel Pead -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
