Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 4.1.2 OS: Linux Sometimes Akregator fetches the same article multiple times for some random feeds, usually it's pretty outdated article. Because of this, I sometimes have to mark up to twenty copies of ten articles as read.
Report it to the feed owner. It means something changed to the article (eg. some bugged feeds are updated when the ads change)
It happens to really random feeds, including ones that Livejournal.com provides, and that feeds have no ads. Also, article can't be changed 20 times during one minute.
Example ?
http://sp6.livejournal.com/data/rss Has just caused bug to show up.
Some more feeds.. http://community.livejournal.com/spb_09/data/rss/ http://community.livejournal.com/science_freaks/data/rss/ http://tema.livejournal.com/data/rss/
One more.. http://habrahabr.ru/rss/main/ I can also note that I choose to delete articles older than 1 day, and usually articles older than one day reappear.
I'm also experiencing this bug with a LiveJournal RSS feed. Is there a workaround?
Sounds similar to Bug 174845, there a similar thing is reported for Mediawiki-installations.
We add the opposite report in bug 182501 (feed was providing only one article id for several articles, leading to a single article displayed in akregator). I suppose this issue you see comes from an article id that is altered on the server side. I can easily reproduce the bug now, more informations soon :-)
More info soon, eh? Anyway, in reply to comment #6, are you positive that it's more than a day old? as in over 24 hours ago? I ask because that could be a separate bug because the feed could be giving more than 24hours worth of articles.
(In reply to comment #10) > More info soon, eh? > Well, what I saw with my test feed is unrelated: the server was sending different identifiers for the same articles, hence the duplication. I also tested with 4 of the feeds mentioned in this report without being able to reproduce or find a reliable way to reproduce.
Sorry for being silent, this bug (as for me) is fixed in KDE4 versions of Akregator.
