I gave it a try, going as far as the purge with the unused
dependencies, and then reinstalled. No difference. Trying to run the
program via the desktop icon has no effect, if I try from the terminal
the output looks more or less the same (pasted below). There's a forum
on gpodder's homepage, I'll paste this lot there as well and see
whether anybody there has any ideas.
