Hi. I don't know if this is the right place to post my question, if not, feel free to inform me. I'm an old gpodder user, I started a few years ago on a LFS distro, then used it on an Ubuntu distro. I'm subscribe to more than 40 podcasts, mainly from a few french radios. I never had to complain about it, which is what I like. As I didn't like the way Ubuntu is evolving, I got back to Debian, about a month ago. Everything went fine, I could import my configuration to my new installation, and I can retreive all my old podcasts. But I can't subscribe to a new one. This is the sort of messages I get when I launch gpodder from a console with -v option : nico at gaston:~/.config$ gpodder -v [ 0.068] Detected encoding: utf8 [ 0.131] (ConverterCollection) Found "oggdec", will try to convert ".ogg" files.

As I mentionned, I have a lot of subscriptions, so it would be nice if I didn't have to configure it all over again ! I inspected the gpodder.conf file, compared it with a fresh one, and didn't see any significant difference (except for some window sizes). Can you help me on this one ? \bye PS : the Debian Squeeze version of gpodder is : nico at gaston:~/.config$ gpodder --version gpodder 2.7 -- Nicolas FRANCOIS | /\ http://nicolas.francois.free.fr | |__| X--/\\ We are the Micro$oft. _\_V Resistance is futile.
