That's over 2 years ago since last webpin change.
For 15.0 & TW webpin does not exist (in standard repos).
I opened a bugzilla about that, and the problem is that the server from which webpin pulls the data is not updated. The webpin package can be updated, that is not a problem, but it would fail the actual search.
Subject: [Bug 1083690] New: webpin: ERROR: invalid or unsupported value for distribution version: "42.3"

Well, 42.3 is not present on http://webpinstant.com/search/ and last time I contacted maintainer he considered stopping providing this service. I.e. - I'm fine to maintain webpin package, but I cannot do more than search engine offers. Could any interested person get in touch with webpinstant maintainer?
Package had no changes over the last 2 years, seems unmaintained. Last patches were for 42.1 -> 42.2 ...... Don't understand why it's still in the distro Read the Bugzilla. The package is maintained, but the search service is not. It makes no sense to add entries to the package when the server does not respond.
I've read the bugzilla. Andreas Stieger and Andrei Borzenkov's replies are clear. Andrei asks you to contact the original maintainer.
Which, after some weeks of thought, I considered pointless, he is not (apparently) interested. From the point of view of the package maintainer, he is not adding support for more versions because it is pointless (no "upstream support"), and I agree. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
