User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.1.4)

I've (almost) successfully upgraded from openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2.
One of the problem I'm facing now is that the perl-Finance-Quote package has
falled back to version 1.16-2.1. The patched version I had under 11.1 fixed
two bugs:
1) a problem with online retrieval of currency quotes (due to a change in Yahho
web site some months ago),
2) a crash due to the lerevenu.pm perl module (also caused by a change in
lerevenu.com site).
perl-Finance-Quote 1.16 is failing when using lerevenu as source for quotes,
making the whole online retrieval of quotes process to fail.
Checking on the OBS repositories, I found perl-Finance-Quote 1.17-4.3 built by
sbrabec. Unfortunately, this package requires Perl 5.10.1 (whereas openSUSE
11.2 is supplied with Perl 5.10.0).
I also found Perl 5.10.1-70.4 on the OBS, but yet with a *LOT* of dependencies
(requiring to un-install/re-install many packages). At this point, I gave up
trying to upgrade in hope to avoid messing up my current 11.2 installation.
Can you (sbrabec, or someone else) do something to speed up the availability of
patches for openSUSE 11.2 to fix this problem ?
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run an application that makes use of finance::quote, like GnuCash;
2. Try to retrieve online quotes;
3. If one of the source for quotes is lerevenu, lerevenu.pm will crash and
cause a global failure of F::Q (so no quotes update);
Actual Results:
No quotes are retrieved for GnuCash as the crash happen early (lerevenu.com is
poked first).
Expected Results:
Full right results for the queried quotes with the patches applied for the
known bugs which fixes the right dialogs with the changes on yahoo.com and
lerevenu.com.
Patches are already available for quote.pm (fixing the Yahoo problem) and for
lerevenu.pm (for the changes in lerevenu.com). The last public available
version of finance::quote (so far) is v1.17 (which fixes the problem of Yahoo,
but not yet the problem of lerevenu; I think a v1.18 will be available soon).
