            Bug ID: 381929
           Summary: Akregator looses feed list
           Product: akregator
           Version: 5.5.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde-bugs at cboltz.de
  Target Milestone: ---

(initially reported as http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046966 )

Since I installed the 20170613 openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot, Akregator
looses/breaks its feed list. The only good thing is that the error message
mentions the exact filename (~/.local/share/akregator/data/feeds.opml) so that
it's easy to restore from my backup.

The not-so-good thing is that Akregator even breaks the backup file, so when
this happens, both feeds.opml and the feeds.opml-backup.* file are only one
byte (hexdump says "000a", so just a newline).

I had to restore the file several times already. I'm not 100% sure, but I
wouldn't be surprised if the file gets damaged on logout/shutdown.
Explicitely exiting Akregator (by pressing Ctrl-Q) before logging out seems to
avoid the breakage.

After restoring feeds.opml, Akregator can be started normally and shows all my
feeds.


This bug was confirmed by multiple users on opensuse-factory, both with
Tumbleweed and with 42.2 + KDE:Frameworks5.
