Web-apps, please advise.

Hrm, looks like no upstream activity since 2004. The bug has been reported by
SuSE but what I assume is their latest package (htdig-3.2.0b6-123) does not
seem to provide a fix for the issue. 

The application is currently marked stable on these architectures:

alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86

We'll probably have to mask it if there is no way to get a fix for this.

Created an attachment (id=137588) [details]
htdig-quoting.patch

Suse provides an updated package in their 10.2 testing repository, I attached
the patch above.

It actually removes the output rather than quoting it, but in the end, that
error message would not come from links inside the application anyway.

Sorry, I obviously didn't know where I had to check. Thanks for the hint. No I
found it too and applied the patch. 

htdig-3.2.0_beta6-r3 is in the tree and needs to be marked stable by

 alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86
