Description:
newsbeuter 2.9-1 is fundamentally broken - as podbeuter segfaults as soon as any download is started.

Reverting to newsbeuter 2.8-1 fixes the issue.

A patch for this issue is queued to committed in the newsbeuter git tree...
https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/pull/168

However at present neither of the in-tree Arch packages actually work!! (newsbeuter 2.9-1 and newsbeuter-git)

Steps to reproduce:
1) install newsbeuter 2.9-1 package
2) enqueue a podcast rss download
3) start podbeuter to download said podcast
4) initiating the download will immediately cause podbeuter to segfault (no other terminal output)
This task depends upon
