So, this is going to take a long time to fix. They didn't just change a little bit in the uri, but the whole interface. That is, almost all parameters have changed and the output is now XML. While XML in itself is not a bad thing, I'll need to figure out the structure in order to render the results correctly on the console. And I'll need to rewrite major parts of the tool and the backend module. This will take weeks (if not months) as I do not have much time for such crab these days. So, please tell to whomsoever is responsible to close that debian bug as 'wontfix' (or mark as 'stalled') and wait if something happens here. If someone has a patch which fixes the issue, please post it here. I'll not track foreign bug tools or mailing lists. However, a pull request on github will do. Thanks, Tom

Okay, thanks for the time estimate, I'll update the Debian tracker. metacpan does not seem to link to a GitHub repo, could you please tell where it is? :-) - Roland
