Description atoms 2008-07-14 08:04:33 UTC

Version:           1.2.50 (using KDE 4.0.83)
OS:                Linux

No idea how this happened, however quite a few are like this, making the sorting all screwed up.  I've tried making akregator delete things over 1 day old to get rid of them but of course they haven't even arrived yet officially with that date so it doesn't delete them.  Please advise what logs to post etc.

Comment 1 Michal Hlavinka 2008-07-14 13:07:43 UTC

this error occurs if time zone in pubDate is missing
13 Jul 2008 10:00 +0000 = correct
13 Jul 2008 10:00 = error

Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2008-07-15 13:55:18 UTC

in article.cpp : Article::Article::Private :

const time_t datePublished = article->datePublished();

article->datePublished() for RFC incorret date returns -1 (==2^32-1),
but from parseRFCDate:
time_t parseRFCDate(const QString& str)
{
    time_t res = KDateTime::fromString(str, KDateTime::RFCDate).toTime_t();
    return res != -1 ? res : 0;
}

it should not return -1 value

Comment 3 Michal Hlavinka 2008-07-15 22:24:19 UTC

I've searched around this bug and (for now) found this :

parseRFCDate checks result for time_t(-1)=64bit (at least on my computer), but KDateTime... returned uint32_t(-1), so result is:
return res != 4294967295 ? res : 0;

Conclusion:
it's not akregator's bug, it's kdepim's bug

Seems related to bug #150648. Is the above the beginnings of a patch? :)

If you submit one to the mailing list, I'm sure they'd love it. Thanks!

I've already filled kdepimlib's bug with patch - 166721

Comment 7 A. Spehr 2008-07-18 04:25:46 UTC

So courtesy of bug #166721, this can be closed? Thanks!

And bug #150648?
