Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea

When using a GOogle Reader source in Liferea, moving a feed subscription to the source seems to work OK (it shows up in the UI and I can read it there), however, when the Google Reader source is first updated, the subscription vanishes.

Note: This causes data loss, as all the 'read'/'important' flags from the subscription are lost in the process.

This affects me. It seems what is happening is that this change isn't getting propagated up to the Google Reader account. This means that when the source is updates it pulls the list from the Google Reader account which doesn't include the updated feeds and deletes the new feeds. I can't figure out if you are suppose to be able to add feeds this way, I think so because I managed to add at least one in this manner I believe. I'm going to try and blitz my settings and see if the problem goes away.

This is fixed upstream in liferea v1.8.7 - see http://sourceforge.net/p/liferea/bugs/836/.

Raring currently has liferea 1.8.10, so the fix will is available there, but I'm not sure if or when it would be backported, especially since the main driver for this fix (Google Reader) is being shut down.

Changed in liferea (Ubuntu):
