Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpilot

Invalid entry (missing ']') at /home/eichin/.kde/share/config/kpilot_docconduitrc:14
Invalid entry (missing ']') at /home/eichin/.kde/share/config/kpilot_docconduitrc:15

those lines are:

/home/eichin/Edge/docs/Swords Against Death [Book 2 of.txt=25fa6427e2feac62956ae9c0c3eeb80c
/home/eichin/Edge/docs/Swords and Deviltry [Book 1 of .txt=4f872c06a3ab766656b04586c105c96c

The bug seems to be that kpilot_docconduitrc is a .ini-style file,
with everything in a [General] stanza -- and a parser that doesn't use
enough context to tell the difference; a workaround would be to
somehow quote (maybe urlencode?) the pathnames to the left of the = above.

(The docfiles are conventional downloads from fictionwise.com, from at
least 5 years back - and raw pilot-xfer doesn't have any trouble with
them, of course.)

(Aside from the warning, I think this is interfering with syncing, I
always get the dialog about duplicate files now...)

As I'm still using 6.06, and kdepim hasn't gotten an update, yes, I'm
still experiencing it. No idea if a later release fixes it.

What does "expired" mean? bugs don't magically improve because time
has passed :-)

Launchpad Janitor, Bad janitor, your a bad boy! :P

Mark Eichin, hey it's not clear if this issue is on a server or desktop. If it's server, please update the status of this bug. However, if it's a desktop then the version of Ubuntu your using is in End of Life status. More information may be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases As well, the package version your bugging is updated in Maverick. Please update via www.ubuntu.com repost a detailed error report, and update the bug status. Thanks!
