[Abcde-users] Musicbrainz and perl version conflict {External}

[Alan W. Kerr]

OK... I've run into this problem...  and a few others have
(in different situations).  the problem is that abcde is hardwired
to "exit" if you cannot get a "good response" from musicbrainz.

I posted a fix in Bug 207:
https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207

but in case that link doesn't work... basically the fix is:

at lines 538(makeids), 2132(do_discid) , 2693(do_musicbrainz_read)

change the lines:

log error "$MUSICBRAINZ failed to run; ABORT"
exit $error

to:

log error "$MUSICBRAINZ failed to run - Continuing"
vecho "$MUSICBRAINZ failed to run - Continuing"


Hope that helps.

Alan
