Description ed.shornock 2013-03-25 18:03:29 UTC

Akregator 1.6.6
Debian unstable

A couple of my feeds have entries with timestamps of "07.02.2016 08:28". 

Googling I've found this problem reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/982210 and bug 166721 which is marked as resolved.

I have not tried removing my akregator configs to start over but can do so if needed. I can also provide the feeds that I experience this issue with, if it'd be of use.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Comment 1 Allen Winter 2013-04-02 23:49:14 UTC

so a couple of your feeds have correctly formatted ISO dates, but those dates are in the future.
interesting.  wonder how that happens

the fix in bug 166724 was for handling improperly formatted ISO dates, which is not the case here.

I suppose we could say.. if the date is valid and a future date, then use today's date.

even so.. this is a strange situation.

another 2106 example

Comment 5 ed.shornock 2013-04-11 15:44:52 UTC

BTW, I've since updated to 4.10.2 and I still see the problem with these same feeds.

Comment 6 ed.shornock 2013-04-23 13:19:14 UTC

I deleted ~/.kde/share/apps/akregator/Archive/* after making a backup (in case the backup would be of use).

The dates are all normal at present.

Comment 7 Andrey 2013-06-07 03:09:23 UTC

Confirm this bug on KDE 4.10.3, Gentoo GNU/Linux amd64.

I tried to delete feeds with date 2106, but they spring up again and again :(

Test/demo RSS document

After some testing, I've discovered that this has *nothing* to do with dates in the feed! The cause (or at least *a* cause) of the issue appears to be somehow unexpected characters in the GUID field of an RSS feed item.
I've personally experienced this when a URL is used as the GUID, and that URL includes a non-ASCII hyphen or such. I see EN DASH (U+2013) quite often.

Add the attached RSS document as a feed:
1. Fetch feed -> The bugged item appears as normal in Akregator.
2. Quit Akregator
3. Re-open Akregator -> The feed and items appear normal
4. Fetch feed -> A *duplicate* of the bugged item shows up, with the date " 01:00" (may vary by timezone?) - including the leading space.
5. Quit Akregator
6. Re-open Akregator -> The bugged item appears just once in the feed, but at the top of the list with a date of: "2106-02-07 07:28" (always the same, but may vary by timezone?)
7. Goto #4

Deleting the item/s from the feed will just restart the process the next time Akregator is restarted, and the feed is fetched.

FYI:
Akregator Version 1.6.6
Using KDE Development Platform 4.8.4 (4.8.4)

Comment 10 Isaque Galdino 2013-12-11 18:35:03 UTC

I have this issue in KDE 4.11.3 (openSuse 13.1) as well.
I'll add a screenshot.
