Matt, thanks for the reports. Yes, upstream wants to go with webkit only for 1.5, knowing what’s still wrong helps in getting there.

When I subscribe to a feed, the title is left as “New Subscription.” I’m pretty sure that it used to change to the feed’s title.

I tried the liferea-webkit package. It sometimes displays the scrollbar incorrectly (i.e., the bar was missing or wasn’t in the correct scroll position), though, so I’ve switched back. I see that Gecko will no longer be supported in 1.5.6, though.

When I quit Liferea, it displays displays the following message and aborts:

liferea-bin: glibcurl.c:475: prepare: Assertion `source == &curlSrc->source’ failed.

> I’ll try to get access to some i386 machine to compile them there

You can build i386 packages on an amd64 machine.
With cowbuilder:

create base image with ‘cowbuilder—create—debootstrapopts—arch—debootstrapopts i386—basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-sid_i386.cow’
build the package with ‘pdebuild—use-pdebuild-internal’
packages will have to be signed manually with debsign

I then use the following in my ~/.pbuilderrc file:
PDEBUILD_PBUILDER=”cowbuilder—build—basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-sid_i386.cow”

Cheers,
Julien

Oops. That’s what I get from only using webkit these days.

I was able to get it to work using the patch at http://ftbfs.org/liferea-1.5.5.patch, which I extracted from http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-commits/2008-May/msg03644.html.

I built the packages for i386 in a fresh sid pbuilder chroot and installed the liferea package, but when I run it, it displays the following messages and aborts:

** ERROR **: Sorry, I was not able to load any installed browser plugin! Try the—debug-plugins option to get debug information!
aborting…

I tried it again with the—debug-plugins option and it failed as follows:

PLUGINS: Scanning for plugins (/usr/lib/liferea):
PLUGINS: -> LUA Scripting Support Plugin (libliscrlua.so, type=4)
PLUGINS: Cannot open /usr/lib/liferea/liblihtmlx.so (/usr/lib/liferea/liblihtmlx.so: undefined symbol: mozsupport_xpcom_init)!
