liferea-gtkhtml is gone

As of 1.0.27-2, the GtkHTML rendering backend for liferea is disabled. It simply caused too much trouble, randomly segfaulting on every architecture and reliably segfaulting on 64bit ones. So I ended up deciding to just disable it and leave only the xulrunner engine. Please, if you use liferea, help test the transition to the new version, I’d really like to get this change into etch. You can get it right now from incoming, or wait till the next install run for it to get into sid.

    Is there any way to test this from within Sarge?

    Oh, good idea. I’ll build a backport of the packages and post it here.

    You could always test the whole sarge -> etch upgrade, but I assume you don’t want to do that right now.
