Bug#560393: libdate-manip-perl: newer versions break xmltv-util

[Bert Riding]

Package: libdate-manip-perl
Version: 5.54-1
Severity: normal


I use the tv_grab_na_dd script from xmltv-util to download and process tv listing data
from Schedules Direct.  Recently, I have been unable to successfully do this because,
it seems, Date::Manip is working differently in the 6.04-1 and 6.05-1 versions than it
did in older releases.  Downgrading to 5.54-1 restores expected behavior and allows 
tv_grab_dd_na to work right.  

One other installed package that depends on libdate-manip-perl, gnucash, seems to not
care which version is of libdate-manip-perl is installed.
