Bug 33073 – straw 0.20 doesn't show anything in article list

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description nicolasm 2003-11-09 06:03:58 UTC]

Since a few weeks ago, after one "emerge -up world", straw doesn't show anything
in the top-right pane, instead of showing article lists. I tried removing the
.straw directory and have it start again from scratch, but it didn't make a
difference.

Reproducible: Always

0.20 is sort of broken, do you have a LANG set ?

liquidx, shouldn't we mask this straw ?

[Comment 2 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-11-10 09:48:34 UTC]

masked in portage now .. i should of done that a couple of days ago but forgot
to commit :(

[Comment 3 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2003-11-16 23:32:34 UTC]

Can you please try with straw 0.21.1

[Comment 4 nicolasm 2003-11-16 23:50:00 UTC]

Tried 0.21.1, it seems to work, although I have to delete my ~/.straw/ folder. Otherwise it won't start up .... 

[Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) 2003-11-20 08:45:23 UTC]

yeah liquidx said he had todo the same. I didn't. Don't think the format go changed though.

closing this as it was really 0.20 bug, reopen a 0.21.1 config bug if needed.
