Should xmltv-util Recommends: libarchive-zip-perl, libio-stringy-perl? I build the Debian dependencies based on the list that Ed Avis has put into XMLTV's README file. Required files are listed as Depends, optional files (like Term::Progressbar) are listed as Recommends, etc. I just checked, and as of now, none of the Perl modules in these two packages are listed in the README. If some grabber or utility requires these two additional packages, then I should certainly add them to the dependencies. However, I'd like to know what grabber it is that's having the problem, and I'd like to coordinate with Ed to make sure that these packages are listed in the upstream README as well. From a quick check through the code, it looks like tv_grab_uk_bleb is the offending grabber, or possibly tv_grab_se_swedb. These extra dependencies are even listed in the Makefile.PL. However, Makefile.PL doesn't seem to be enforcing the prerequisite on build. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Usually, a build within a pbuilder chroot exposes this sort of thing. Can you have your FreeGuide user confirm that his problem is with tv_grab_uk_bleb or tv_grab_se_swedb? In the meantime, I'll put together a new package with the correct dependencies and I'll also create a patch for the upstream README to fix the discrepancy. I'm pretty sure it is tv_grab_uk_bleb. The problem is that it is a hard dependency, but only for this particular grabber, so it's difficult to fit into a formal dependency structure.

The analysis was right: it was the tv_grab_uk_bleb grabber that was causing the errors. Apologies for mis-filing the bug initially: I note that a new xmltv package has been uploaded already! cheers, iain -- If sharing a thing in no way diminishes it, it is not rightly owned if it is not shared. -- St. Augustine #rm -rf / http://www.geeksoc.org/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi Shaun, I think they may be needed for certain XMLTV grabbers to work. Iain: what country are you in?
