Package: gnus Version: 5.11+v0.5.dfsg-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
gnus fails to start. It raises an error about an "Invalid date". Acual message is : Invalid date: sam, 02 déc 2006 12:16:49 +0100 This bug seems to have appeared on previous versions of gnus (seen on gnus.org). The bug appeared suddenly yesterday (sun 3rd). gnus worked fine before. I probably made an update which broke gnus. I include the backtrace: Many thanks for your work Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid date: sam, 02 d\x8e9\ c 2006 12:16:49 +0100") signal(error ("Invalid date: sam, 02 d\x8e9\ c 2006 12:16:49 +0100")) error("Invalid date: %s" "sam, 02 d\x8e9\ c 2006 12:16:49 +0100") date-to-time("sam, 02 d\x8e9\ c 2006 12:16:49 +0100") byte-code("qÆ !A@)[EMAIL PROTECTED]@T \nA\fÊZ F \nA\f ËÌÍÎ\n\"ÏE*+_ ,_ Ð!ÑÒ Ó#-./.;[EMAIL PROTECTED]@)[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 1Ò ØÙ1!!Ú0/\"/Õ-1 Ý Ù1!. ê r.q`)31Ô-45*+Õ67*.89-../.;Ô.!
