--- Begin Message ---Package: devscripts Hi. I am behind a fascist firewall that only allows pasv ftp connections and I tried to run uscan with a package that I was trying to debug. Unfortunately, it took me a long time to discover the cause of the problem, because, even when I used the debug option, it told me that the regular expression could not be matched and, therefore, I started looking for a broken expression. IMVHO, uscan (and siblings) using perl's library should die/carp/whatever before going to the regexp matching phase if the page could not be downloaded or if it returned a 0-lenght reply.

Geeee. I can't reproduce the problem anymore. Of course, in the mean time, some perl modules were updated. Well, I'm closing this bug for now. I will let you know if I can reproduce it again.
