[Chris Butler <chrisb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think we've finally managed to put together a workaround for this
problem. While there is still a bug in Date::Manip, it only occurs when
expressing timezones as numerical offsets (e.g. "+0000"). I've patched
xmltv so that it never uses invokes Date::Manip with timezones in that
format.

I've created packages for 0.5.56+cvs20100328-1, which I've uploaded to:

http://people.debian.org/~chrisb/

This is a snapshot of today's CVS, which includes the fix. The packages
were built for Debian, but I would imagine they'll install on an Ubuntu
system as well. The plan is to give this change a few days or so to get
a decent bit of testing. If all goes well, a new upstream release should
follow, at which point I'll upload it to Debian.

I'd welcome any feedback on the experimental packages if anyone can get
chance to test them, especially anyone using grabbers other than
tv_grab_uk_rt.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xmltv

The latest version of Date::Manip (6.04) causes tv_grab_uk_rt in lucid xmltv (0.5.56-1) to break:

$ tv_grab_uk_rt
Using old-style config file
XMLTV requires a Date::Manip timezone of +0000 to work properly.
Current Date::Manip timezone is wet.

Has been fixed upstream, not yet in debian.
