Description Göran Uddeborg 2018-08-18 20:13:19 CEST
It seems Pang Zero can't start with current Perl.  At least, I get the error messages below when I try.  Perl has gotten stricter with these issues over the releases, and it is usually a simple matter to fix.  Since upstreams appears to be pretty inactive, you would probably have to maintain the fix in RPM Fusion.

pangzero-1.4.1-8.fc28.noarch

mimmi$ pangzero
Pang Zero 1.4.1 died:

Don't expect this to be fixed soon as the package hasn't got a maintainer.
TBH pangzero should be retired as it no longer qualifies to be in rpmfusion and isn't maintained.

Ok, I filed bug 4995 about having it retired then.
