Yes you can. Everything is actually Mandrake-related (even adns not working properly, as Mandrake mistakingly adds a "127.0.0.1" entry to /etc/resolv.conf ...).

Sorry for the annoyance ;)

Hmm, ok, I've found the problem. The Mandrake packaging is simply bogus (it depended on adns-python but not adns itself). Strangely with adns installed it wouldn't work either, so I've deinstalled adns-python and now it's fine. I suspect the adns issue is Mandrake-related, given the packaging quality in the Contrib repository...

Hi, I'm new with Straw. I'm using 0.21.1 (Mandrake Contrib package).

This is a strange error. Every time I try to add an RSS feed, the first poll works fine (I get the articles). Then, at every following poll of the feed, I get "host name lookup failed". Also with feeds provided by default (gnomedesktop.org and so on). Of course everything in my browser works fine. Maybe some DNS caching routines are bugged somewhere ?

If I use an IP address instead (for example on my local server http://127.0.0.1/...), it works fine.

No error appears in the terminal window from which the program is launched.
