Package: gutenbrowser Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: grave When trying to use gutenbrowser, I am unable to download new texts. Here is the output from a test run where I tried to download a text.

QLayout "unnamed" added to Gutenbrowser "unnamed", which already has a layout Library Dialog finished init new_index is /home/pere/.gutenbrowser/PGWHOLE.TXT new index nameis /home/pere/.gutenbrowser/GUTINDEX.ALL load Library index using new index file is /usr/share/doc/gutenbrowser/PGWHOLE.TXT wizoz10x.xxx download_Etext() about to network dialog Ftp host is ftp.sunet.se /pub/etext/gutenberg/ 93 Please find a file:wizoz10 Download file: wizoz10 Checking: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/etext/gutenberg//etext93/ /pub/etext/gutenberg//etext93/ /home/pere/.gutenbrowser/.guten_temp wizoz10 Getting directory list from: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/etext/gutenberg//etext93/ fileFinished() wizoz10 Just downloaded /home/pere/.gutenbrowser/.guten_temp % This make it useless for all new users, and thus I make this a grave bug to keep this package out of testing. I got this comment from Henrik Steffien about the problem: Indeed the gutenbrowser isn't downloading an ebook. I could reproduce the problem and took a look at the sources. It's more bad than I had feared. :-) The algorithms in gutenbrowser for searching and downloading the files from the mirror servers aren't up to date and complete. This means in your concrete example that the filename of the etext isn't constructed in the right way. So gutenbrowser is trying to download a file that doesn't exist on the server. Also the gutenbrowser doesn't care about the new system of Project Gutenberg for managing the etext files. Newer books are stored in a different directory structure, that gutenbrowser at all doesn't know of. :-( Also the main index files have to be handled another way... I think the world turned around and gutenbrowser stood still for a long time. This means there's a lot to do for me to get gutenbrowser up to date. I can't solve this with a simple debian specific patch. This much work I will let introduce into the new QT4 version of gutenbrowser. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
