I think we've finally managed to put together a workaround for this problem. While there is still a bug in Date::Manip, it only occurs when expressing timezones as numerical offsets (e.g. "+0000"). I've patched xmltv so that it never uses invokes Date::Manip with timezones in that format.

I've created packages for 0.5.56+cvs20100328-1, which I've uploaded to:

http://people.debian.org/~chrisb/

This is a snapshot of today's CVS, which includes the fix. The packages were built for Debian, but I would imagine they'll install on an Ubuntu system as well. The plan is to give this change a few days or so to get a decent bit of testing. If all goes well, a new upstream release should follow, at which point I'll upload it to Debian.

I'd welcome any feedback on the experimental packages if anyone can get chance to test them, especially anyone using grabbers other than tv_grab_uk_rt.
