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.


Regards, Rogério Brito.

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.


Thanks,
