[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#708477: perlprimer: URL API again broken.

[Charles Plessy]

Package: perlprimer
Version: 1.1.21-1
Severity: normal

Hi all,

It looks like the URLs have changed again in Ensembl, breaking
perlprimer.

There is a patch on SourceForge, but it solves the problem by
accessing archive data, which is a good workaround but does not solve
the problem for novel transcripts.

Does anybody have a better solution ? (I do not have the time)

Cheers,
