Description Oleg Atamanenko 2007-04-26 10:56:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Suppose you have 2 feeds: feed1 and feed2.

Sometimes during fetch articles from feed1 are shown as articles of feed2 and saved under it.

The bug can be reproduced on Kubunty Edgy and Debian testing(Lenny)
Comment 1 Frank Osterfeld 2007-04-30 16:25:50 UTC
Do you have example feed pairs where this occurrs?
Comment 2 Oleg Atamanenko 2007-04-30 19:14:59 UTC
The feeds are randomly.

E.g. feed1 is http://rocketsauce.ca/bashrss/, but Akregator shows me some feeds from feed2 - http://rulinux.net.ru/rss.xml. And this feed2 shows me some articles from http://lorquotes.ru/rss/main.xml. The behaviour is unpredictable. It doesn't happen always, but only sometimes, so I can't reproduce it everytime. I can tell, that problem just exists. I tried to remove akregator settings and saved articles. It doesn't help.
Comment 3 Oleg Atamanenko 2008-01-11 05:41:17 UTC
The bug is not in akregator. I found the problem when using polipo proxy cache. When I don't have internet connection - incorrect data was returned by polipo. Mark bug as resolved.
Comment 4 Daniel Dumitrache 2008-01-28 16:13:09 UTC
I can confirm this bug on akregator 1.2.7 (ubuntu gutsy) and I'm surely not passing trough a proxy (nor transparent, nor non-transparent). It happens with various feeds, including local (lan) ones. 
I've tried to delete '~/.kde/share/apps/akregator/' import the all feeds (previously exported) but after a few 'fetch all feeds' some of the articles/feeds get mixed up again exactly as in Oleg's initial report. It doesn't always happen with the same feeds.

The bug is certainly not caused by a faulty proxy, it needs to be reopened.
Comment 5 Marcin Gryszkalis 2008-05-20 18:04:39 UTC
I can confirm it too. No proxy at all. Sometimes articles are duplicated in another feed (ie. can be read from feed1 and feed2). In one case I got all articles from one feed copied to another (shown as 200+ unreaded articles). the date column shows recent date/time. 

Reopen, please!

Comment 6 Salvatore Cristofaro 2008-07-03 20:33:35 UTC
I can confirm it too. Mine is akregator version 1.2.9 running under gentoo linux.
Reopen pls!
Comment 7 Adam Jimerson 2008-07-29 20:33:53 UTC
I can also confirm this on openSUSE and version 1.2.50, no proxy, and example of such mix up is articles from http://www.novell.com/linux/security/suse_security.xml ends up in the feed for http://news.opensuse.org/?feed=rss2.  Also feeds from http://code.google.com/feeds/p/kenesis/svnchanges/basic and http://code.google.com/feeds/p/backup-light/svnchanges/basic get mixed up.

Please reopen as this is happening with the version for KDE 4.1 as well.

Comment 9 Tobias Brandt 2008-09-02 16:27:47 UTC
Confirmed (Akregator 1.2.7, KDE 3.5.8, Ubuntu 7.10).
Comment 10 Harald Sitter 2008-09-10 18:17:20 UTC
Reopening as per comment #7
Comment 11 Jens Dönhoff 2009-03-06 10:53:32 UTC
I've been experiencing this extensively after upgrading akregator from 3.5.7 to 3.5.10 (Ubuntu gutsy to hardy), and it's quite annoying.

Since this bug has been existing for a rather long time, I'm wondering whether the issue is so incredibly complicated that no one wants to take it - or whether it's just that no one has looked into it yet.

Comment 13 vsza 2009-05-01 20:57:12 UTC
Confirmed here, too. Debian squeeze with KDE 3.5.10 and akregator 1.2.9.

akregator source file, filled with debug statements
Comment 15 YenTheFirst 2009-10-06 01:38:45 UTC
I can confirm the problem too. Kubuntu 8.04, KDE 3.5.10, akregator 1.2.9

I started looking into it, though, and it looks like it might be a KDE bug, or else it's something really funky.

Since it didn't always show up running it through a debugger, I wrote in a bunch of debug statements, to try and catch the program state when it _does_ go funky. I'm attaching those files.

from the output I've looked at, it looks like the TransferJob started by KIO::get just...pulls the wrong data.

Comment 17 Andras Georgy Bekes 2009-10-13 10:37:00 UTC
It seems the bug does not exist in KDE 4.3, (Akregator 1.5.1).
Comment 18 kde-bugtracking 2013-11-04 08:14:55 UTC
This problem still exists. I just noticed the described behaviour under Akregator 4.10.5 in OpenSuSe 12.3
Comment 19 bugs5.kde.org 2014-02-26 10:55:06 UTC
I also have this problem sometimes using
Akregator Version 4.12.2
Using KDE Development Platform 4.12.2

One thing I notice is that the feed where it's wrongly saved to, is always the same.

Sometimes Feed A gets saved to Feed X
Sometimes Feed B gets saved to Feed X
Sometimes Feed C gets saved to Feed X

But I haven't noticed that other feeds are being messed up.
Comment 20 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:44:55 UTC
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 21 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:57:11 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
