Bug Description

Binary package hint: libnet-whois-ripe-perl

Whois replies can contain as beginning character the +-sign,
as for example in 'whois AS5408:AS-GRNET-CUSTOMERS',

if running in a library, the following error is thrown:

QUERY FAILED (AS5408:AS-GRNET-CUSTOMERS): unparseable line: '+######################################################################'

Lines beginning with + should be ignored as comment.

I'm using version 1.22-1.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 64Bit
