Package: akregator
Version: 1.0-beta8-2
Severity: important

Salut Pierre,

Thanks for looking akregator -- a great rss reader.  Once in a while, and in
particular on Debian Planet, someone puts a '&' into a story heading.
Currently this can be seen on planet.debian.org in the story from Marga.

Akregator then stops updating the feed. This is rather annoying.  I
discussed this with the authors of the planet code, and their take is that
their Python toolset, in particular the rss part, is robust -- it is the
readers that are at fault.

I curremtly use only one other rss reader -- the 'builtin' one for
customized my.yahoo.com. It does not exhibit the problem: Debian Planet
still updates.  

It would be nice if akregator could get fixed, esp. as it seems to be
getting more exposure in the next KDE release. I should note that the other
feeds in my opml are still updated.  

Regards,  Dirk

This is no bug in Akregator, but in the mentioned XML, therefore closing this 
bug report.
(Relaxing the XML parser would be a wish for the Qt libraries, not for 
Akregator; however, this is a clear wontfix, and also doesn't buy us anything; 
pretty much every feed reader in the wild now uses a proper XML parser, we're 
just matching the behaviour of everyone else)
