It dies with a fatal error in the moment that you require it. It has no sense on having a package in this state, even in alpha state. I'm the author of Date_Span and detected the problem a long time ago. I mailed to Pier-Alain (one of the mantainers of Date) a few times to ask him to fix it (it's as simple as adding Date/Span.php to package.xml) but without success. - -- LUCA - Leandro Lucarella - Usando Debian GNU/Linux Sid - GNU Generation - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-Mail / JID: luca@lugmen.org.ar GPG Fingerprint: D9E1 4545 0F4B 7928 E82C 375D 4B02 0FE0 B08B 4FB2 GPG Key: gpg --keyserver pks.lugli.org.ar --recv-keys B08B4FB2 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <Knghtbrd> It's a trackball for one <wichert> so it's not a rodent <wichert> it's a turd with a ball sticking out <wichert> which you fondle constantly -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/J8i1SwIP4LCLT7IRApo5AJ94jxIoxDdVL3QhtmIwDX8rswpclQCfT9N0 IQ/MJQdB6a4+c+yFNY8Vbng= =kc7F -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
