tags 537028 + patch pending thanks Hi John, in my quest against old FTBFS RC bugs, I stumbled upon this bug. Therefore, I've prepared an NMU for that (versioned as 1.1.5.0+nmu1) and uploaded it to DELAYED/5 (largely within the limits of devref §5.11.1).
The fix actually comes from your Git repository (it's a refinement in .cabal predicates against the base library [1]). You would probably want to release a new version of hpodder (upstream) and upload it to Debian too, but I think that in the interim having a fixed package in unstable wouldn't hurt (and would actually help to get a clearer view of RC issues that are more serious than this). Hope this helps, Cheers. [1] http://git.complete.org/hpodder?a=commit;h=14bb33ba03dc21c338ec5b52d74b1f66c958ef5b -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
