I've commented out line 494 in Attachment #2 [details] on my system to prevent `Your ${2}paste can be seen here: " >&2` from spamming in output.. Not sure if it's relevant.

[Comment 5 Jakub Hrbek 2019-01-07 04:59:32 UTC]

EDIT: if line 494 is uncommented the output is:

Your paste can be seen here: https://codeload.github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/tar.gz/v9999

Why gentoo bug was created rather than debug and send this upstream?

Wgetpaste has greedy regular expression at the line 564 in the get_url() function which is:

sed -n -e 's|^.*Location: \(https\{0,1\}://[^ ]*\).*$|\1|p' <<< "$*"

so this maches 

# Location: https://codeload.github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/tar.gz/v9999 [following]

line 91 here:

https://paste.pound-python.org/show/dJnhReaoi4NoSvhsPfmk/

But I am sure we do not want to have a distro fix, so please report upstream.

I saw yours and Maksbotan's name in 'Maintainers' and i though that it's gentoo package? Assuming that it's not present on other distros and that homepage (http://wgetpaste.zlin.dk/) is just full of download links? 

Can you share contact on upstream? I'm unable to find any https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wgetpaste&t=h_&ia=web

Note: Recommends adding a link on https://github.com/zlin/wgetpaste to an ebuild. Current homepage is not helpful alike for reporting bugs.
