Subject: how-can-i-help: does not start if ~/.cache/how-can-i-help/how-can-i-help.json.gz doesn't exist

Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:06:01 +0200

Package: how-can-i-help
Version: 10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

People running how-can-i-help for the first time are greeted with the
following:

/usr/bin/how-can-i-help:135:in `open': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /home/steve/.cache/how-can-i-help/how-can-i-help.json.gz (Errno::ENOENT)
	from /usr/bin/how-can-i-help:135:in `<main>'

Given the target audience it's rather unfortunate :-(.

Regards,

Stephen

For anyone else running across this, the following allows how-can-i-help to
work:

mkdir ~/.cache/how-can-i-help
cd $_
wget http://udd.debian.org/how-can-i-help.json.gz

Hey,

It appears that all http requests sent to UDD are now redirected to
https (and hcich was unable to handle that). Thanks for your patch, I've
applied it and it works flawlessly. Since this issue will affect all
versions of hcih I will also request stable release version update.


Regards,
T.
