gpodder crashed with TypeError in show_message()

Binary package hint: gpodder

Hardy Heron

gpodder 0.10.4.1

I expected it to download a podcast.

It quits the download with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've just checked. This bug has been fixed upstream. I've merged the patch into Ubuntu's package.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Thomas, you must adjust Maintainer field accordingly to Debian Maintainer Specification (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField). Could you please attach a new debdiff and resubscribe u-u-s? Also, I saw you uploaded a new upstream version in Debian. Does it solve outstanding bugs reported in Ubuntu too? If so, you may consider to apply for a Feature Freeze exception (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess). Thanks!

[Thomas Perl (thp)]

Updated package as Luca said, attached the new .dsc, .diff.gz and debdiff.

The new version in Debian includes more changes and new features, I'd rather have the more stable 0.10.4 in Ubuntu Hardy and patch any bugs found there.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Good rationale. Uploading, thanks ;)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gpodder - 0.10.4-1ubuntu1

---------------
gpodder (0.10.4-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge patch from upstream to fix problem with wrong error
    message (LP: #197256).
  * debian/control: Update Maintainer field as per spec.
