Yes, the feedparser module (python-feedparser in Debian; www.feedparser.org) is still a hard dependency. There is an "email.feedparser" module in the standard Python2.5 library, but this is different from the "feedparser" module from feedparser.org. So, the feedparser module from feedparser.org ist still a hard dependency, and gPodder does not start when it's not available. Maybe slackware includes this module in their Python packaging for some unknown reason? Here's how the feedparser module should act and look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import feedparser >>> feedparser.__version__ '4.1' >>> feedparser.__author__ 'Mark Pilgrim <http://diveintomark.org/>' >>> feedparser.USER_AGENT 'UniversalFeedParser/4.1 +http://feedparser.org/' >>> Hope that helps. Thanks for packaging gPodder on FreeBSD and Slackware :) Keep up the good work.
