[Comment 1 Michael Weber (RETIRED) 2013-07-15 11:41:04 UTC]

Can you report this on the upstream issue tracker please?

Does it happen with net-misc/hotot-0.9.8.14, too?

(The problem isn't new, I've seen it from time to time, but I cannot dig into it.)

[Comment 2 Norman Rieß 2013-07-16 11:05:53 UTC]

I have opened an issue in upstream ussue tracker.
The problem also occurs on 0.9.8.14.

[Comment 3 Norman Rieß 2018-11-25 10:39:09 UTC]

Hotot was discontinued three years ago. The official website does not exist any more. I think this issue can be closed and the package removed from the repository.
