Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

		On start ran the command "xterm -geom 100x120 -e "task overdue;bash" &"
		Then ran "task list"

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

   * What was the outcome of this action?

		"Taskwarrior no longer supports file format 1, originally used between 27
		November 2006 and 31 December 2007. in /home/henry/.task/pending.data at
		line 28"

		If I look at pending.data there does not appear to be any order in the
		text file

		Lines 28 read  "]
		Lines 29 looks as if there are 20 tasks all in one line


		I have had similar problems with the .completed.data file

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Would you please come over to taskwarrior.org, register and submit a

Hi,

a long time ago you opened the following bug against the taskwarrior
Debian package:

* Henry Bremridge <henry+bug@xobie.com> [2012-07-26 12:55]:

Sadly the upstream link this was forwarded to is no longer available:

http://taskwarrior.org/boards/1/topics/2448

As the taskwarrior package is now version 3 and again has a new file
format I don't think supporting format 1 is a task for Debian. Thus
closing this bug report.

Cheers Jochen
