Bug#252432: kpilot avantgo conduit fails after upgrade to kpilot 3.2.2-2 (testing)

[Darryl Luff <darryl@snakegully.nu>]

Package: kpilot
Version: 4:3.2.2-2
Severity: important

NOTE: This bug is also submitted to bugs.kde.org
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82761)

Not sure if I should report it here as well as (or instead of?) KDE. 
Reporting here as it has been experienced by debian users (see http://opendoorsoftware.com/pipermail/debian-kde-cvs/2004-May/000626.html) and there doesn't seem to be a matching bug.

Before the upgrade to kpilot 3.2.2-2 this conduit was working fine.
After the upgrade the MAL/Avantgo conduit exits immediately without
downloading any content.

This is logged:
19:42:06  [Conduit mal_conduit]
19:42:06  Running with flags:
19:42:06  [Conduit time_conduit]
.... 

The command line tool 'malsync' works fine on the same machine.
