Description Gael Beaudoin 2007-01-21 17:13:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The feed attached is not parsed correctly, I only have the latest entry repeated as many time as the number of entires in the feed.

the rss that is not parsed correctly.

Please note that the feed is not valid RSS.

Comment 3 Gael Beaudoin 2007-01-21 19:06:50 UTC

Indeed, I should have checked that before.

I posted a bug beacause I tested the feed in several other news reeder(firefox, knewsticker, my cell phone, etc) and they all parsed it correctly.

So, I'm not sure if I should close this bug ?

Comment 4 Bram Schoenmakers 2007-01-21 19:34:06 UTC

I'll leave that to the Akregator authors since there are many invalid feeds out there which work properly with Akregator.

Comment 5 Eckhart Wörner 2007-01-21 20:08:14 UTC

The <guid /> is a unique identifier for an article, so for two articles containing the same guid it is no error to assume that both articles are identical.
The only "well-behaving" alternative to that behavior is that the feed is just shown as broken in Akregator.

Ok, thanks for your explanation !
