Fixing exception in the_age recipe

[petdr]

I've got calibre 0.7.12 installed in ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

It has a recipe for The Age. However this recipe doesn't find the last feed, Columns, when processing www.theage.com.au/text.

So I added the following line to the section that processes the feeds

	if feed is not None:
	    if articles:
		feeds.append((feed, articles))

which says at the end if we still have a feed and articles add it to all the feeds at the end of processing.

You can find the whole script at http://pastie.org/1485719.

However now when I run this script I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

you're probably using cssutils 0.9.8x its incompatible. uninstall your distro provided calibre package and install the calibre binary from calibre-ebook.com
