Package: alexandria
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: serious

alexandria in sarge seems to be non-usable. - I have done the usual
steps a beginner would do:
1. start the program
2. klick [Add Book]
3. Type in ISIN 3-446-15497-3
4. klick on [+Add]
5. Get error message: "No results were found. Make sure your search
criterion is spelled correctly. and try again.

I already *have* followed the advice in bug #328496 and have added the
new developer token. And amazon seems to accept it - from strace
output:

5548  write(21, "GET 
/onca/xml3?t=calibanorg-20&AsinSearch=3446154973&f=xml&type=heavy&dev-t=142TF8CHT48WYPPS6J82&locale=de
 HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept: */*\r\nUser-Agent: Ruby/Amazon 0.9.0\r\nHost: 
xml.amazon.com\r\n\r\n", 185) = 185
[...]

 HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept: */*\r\nUser-Agent: Ruby/Amazon 0.9.0\r\nHost:

And indeed checking
http.//xml.amazon.com/onca/xml3?t=calibanorg-20&AsinSearch=3446154973&f=xml&type
=heavy&dev-t=142TF8CHT48WYPPS6J82&locale=de
in e.g. mozilla shows that amazon would provide the correct data:

I assume the alexandria 0.6.1-1 in upcoming etch is functional
currently, please doublecheck and make a versioned close if this is
the case.

cu and- tellico doesn't work, too. ;-) -reas
