parse_rules broken

[pjw]

Binary package hint: streamripper

When calling with "-w parse_rules.txt" the substitute rules are broken:

s/^NEXT//

What should happen, if the metadata contains "NEXT" at the beginning:
This rule should delete (replace with "") the text "NEXT".

What happens instead:
The hole metadata is replaced (deleted).

Version 1.63.5-2 from jaunty works ok.

I think it has to do with the bugfix remove trailing periods as described in the changelog.gz:

You can see in the following example, the replacement defined in pr.txt (s/[[:space:]]/_/) is not done correctly with "-w pr.txt".
