Ha, I'm almost sure the problem is due to lerevenu, because I had
the same issue some times ago.

lerevenu.com has changed its web site, making the module
lerevenu.pm to crash, and thus the whole online retrieval process
to fail.

The author of lerevenu.pm sent me a new version of the module
which is not yet available from F::Q GIT.
I have uploaded it here:

As root, replace your 'lerevenu.pm' by this one (if needed,
change the permission of the file to root/root and read-only).
