[Pkg-freevo-maint] Bug#488716: Headlines non-functional in freevo 1.8.1-0

Package: python-freevo
Version: 1.8.1-0
Severity: normal

Hello,

It used to be that I rarely used Freevo's headlines feature, but
recently I've been finding RSS feeds that would be useful to have
available. As such, I was ready to add new feeds to my local_conf.py,
but before I did I noticed that when I chose any of my existing items,
freevo just displayed a page "No Headlines found".

Nonetheless, I added the new feeds, and sure enough, they also only shed
a "No Headlines found" page. This happens within a second of selecting
the title, after briefly displaying "Fetching headlines...". Using other
programs to fetch the feeds works perfectly.

For reference, I've attached a bzipped section of a trace showing what I
believe to be the start of the headlines related section from freevo,
from selecting the headlines option on the main menu to selecting the
first item to view, then exiting freevo. I've also included my
local_conf.py for reference, along with a section of the log created by
Freevo. Judging by the trace, it seems to have fetched the XML page, but
I can't quite work out what's happening after that.

Please do let me know if you'd like any further information and I'll get
the bug updated as soon as possible.

All the best,
-Dave.
