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.

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. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))

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.

Yes, I was aware that we had lost webpin, but seeing an update in 42.3 got me really hopeful that wonderful tool had new life in it :) (otherwise - why even worry about putting out an update in 42.3?)
