I have been asked to look at a site (7.15) which has been using Aggregator to summarize an RSS feed, but suddenly stopped displaying any content. At first it seemed the Block had vanished, but it is still in the correct place. Instead it seems Aggregator simply cannot find any RSS items to display.
This is erroneous, however, since the RSS feed clearly has recent content for dissemination:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/UnitedChurchRecentUpdates?format=xml
The Aggregator config on the Drupal site in question is set to fire every 24 hours, and it has been. I can even manually launch it ("update items") and it comes back to me saying it has updated but has 0 items. It is set to display 5 news items in the block. I've tried changing the discard period to "Never" and the trimmed description limit to "Unlimited", but neither has any effect. I've also tried disabling and re-enabling the Aggregator module.
I can't find anything helpful in the Recent Log Messages or in the Apache logs for the site.
Any help greatly appreciated.

nerdcore CreditAttribution: nerdcore commentedCould we possibly change the error displaying capabilities of Aggregator so that an error such as
The feed from United Church Recent Updates seems to be broken, because of error "-110 Connection timed out".
is displayed in a colour other than green? ;)
I have resolved my issue (A poorly configured ipv6 address on the server being favoured over the working ipv4 connection), but I didn't even see this message at first because it seemed to be a Happy Green message...

lokapujyaSeems reasonable that the displayed message should be an error

ParisLiakos CreditAttribution: ParisLiakos commentedthanks
how about a warning though, since thats what watchdog registers the log message as well?
