Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ksubtitleripper

Newer versions of gocr require a different command line invocation than
older ones, and KSubtitleRipper was written to use the old format.  The
program is unusable as a result; the program doesn't get any usable
output from gocr.

A patch has already been written which fixes the problem, but the
versionn currently in the debian repository hasn't incorporated it.
Could we file a bug against the package maintainer?

Here's the patch:
http://developer.berlios.de/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=2068&group_id=1613

And here's the project page:
http://ksubtitleripper.berlios.de/

I can confirm that the patch works with the most recent source tarball
(0.3.1).  I compiled it this afternoon on a fully updated Kubuntu Feisty
install.

There appears to be another bug which cripples the program just as
thoroughly by preventing the user from entering text - see the following
post in the Ubuntu forums:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=502143

I'm going to look into that issue, but there's no guarantee that I'll
find a solution for it, since my knowledge of C++ would fit neatly on a
paper napkin and I've never even touched the QT libs before.  If I work
out a fix, I'll submit a patch.
