That should not have the bug.
I just downloaded it to double-check.
2005 occurs nowhere in the package.

You can't be running 1.2-5.... (2005 is nowhere in it)
... unless ...

When you installed it, did you say 'no' about replacing
the files in /etc/lurker/fmt? Try reinstalling it and making
sure you use the new versions of these files. I've also
attached a copy of the fmt files that ship with 1.2.

Also check your computer is correct when you run: date

Also, after you've changed the *.xsl files (either by hand,
or by installing the xsl files that should be used with 1.2),
you will need to run:
    lurker-prune -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf -d /var/www/lurker -p
... this is why you didn't see the changes.


Please also note that 1.2 is a vulnerable version of lurker,
and there will be a patched version on Monday.
