OPML import failure, reason: NULL
Dear maintainer,
Thanks a lot for creating this app. The one I was using recently became unusable for me, so I'm hunting for a replacement. Yours looks like a potentially great candidate :)
Checklist
- [x] I am using the latest version (installed through F-Droid)

Steps to reproduce the bug
Load the following OPML file in News:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version="1.1">
<head>
<title>
Feeder
</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</opml>
Actual behavior
News fails to import the feeds with the following message: Failed to import feed $URL . Reason: NULL
.
Expected behavior
Ideally, News should be able to import the feeds (they work fine in a couple of other readers I tried). If there really is something wrong with the feeds, it would be nicer to have a more descriptive reason, like a lot of other failure messages have (e.g. error 404, broken XML...).
Logs
Somehow, the log
button is not available. Could it be because the OPML file did not get imported?
