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.

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 !
