Bug#785248: wxhexeditor: Fails to run, suggesting download of new version

[Bernhard Übelacker]

Hello Peter,
(not being the maintainer I tried to reproduce)
By removing from ~/.wxHexEditor the line 
"LastUpdateCheckTime=1.4316e+09" I could reproduce the opening of the 
update checking window.

But in Jessie/KDE I am able to simply close this window with the "X" in 
the window bar and then the regular wxHexEditor window opens.
Therefore really "renders package unusable"?

If debian packaging just requires to disable the upstream version check 
then attached patch would do this.

Kind regards,
Bernhard
