[Popcon-developers] Bug#379732: popularity-contest: Fails to upload using http

Tue Jul 25 09:21:33 UTC 2006

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.33
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Can no longer upload popcon result by http (which as the default method probably
means few other people are able to either). I added the -d option to the
uploader and ran it a few times (with several different results):

root at kronos:/etc/cron.weekly# ./popularity-contest
Failed to upload, answer ''
