hpodder catchup -n option doesn't work

[Benjamin Klein]

Binary package hint: hpodder

1) Ubuntu, release 8.10
2) hpodder:
   Installed: 1.1.5.0

I cannot use catchup with the --number-eps=NUM to include more episodes.

Using the bbc music podcast as an exampe ( http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/6music/6musicnews/rss.xml ):

I added the podcast and ran $hpodder catchup

The episode guide is now reported as:
$ hpodder lseps 5
CstId EpId Stts Episode Title
5 1 Skip 6MusicNews: 27 Oct 08, Electric Proms and Snow Patrol
5 2 Pend 6MusicNews: 28 Oct, Led Zeppelin and Morrissey

then ran:
$ hpodder catchup --number-eps=2 5
hpodder lseps 5 still returns:
CstId EpId Stts Episode Title
5 1 Skip 6MusicNews: 27 Oct 08, Electric Proms and Snow Patrol
5 2 Pend 6MusicNews: 28 Oct, Led Zeppelin and Morrissey

I attempted using the command as: $ hpodder -n 2 5 and running an update, nothing worked (even -n 1000). I can still do it manually using setstatus so it is not critical just annoying.

This may not be a bug. I might just be using this command incorrectly (I did look for an example).
