What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Debian or Ubuntu (tested with Debian Stable "squeeze", Ubuntu 12.04 
and 10.04.4)
2. Update to current packages (apt-get update & apt-get upgrade)
3. Install get_flash_videos (get-flash-videos_1.24-1_all or 
combined-get_flash_videos-1.24)
4. Attempt to download a video via search (e.g. "get_flash_videos youtube music"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output: List of search results, selected video(s) download.

Actual Output:
No menu of search results appears. Instead, the following error is printed:

get_flash_videos:
There is no form with the requested fields at 
/usr/share/perl5/FlashVideo/Site/Googlevideosearch.pm line 15
Searching 'FlashVideo::Site::Googlevideosearch' failed with: There is no form

Debian Stable 'squeeze' produces the below error:

Searching 'FlashVideo::Site::Googlevideosearch' failed with: There is no form

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I have tried get-flash-videos_1.24-1_all and combined-get_flash_videos-1.24
Problem reproduces on Ubuntu 12.04 and 10.04.4, Debian Stable "squeeze"

Please provide any additional information below.
If you have the Hulu plugin installed, you may get a menu of Hulu results (even 
if you specified another provider, such as youtube or cbs) after the error or 
instead of the error.

Does _not_ reproduce with git clone development version.

Could updated packages be uploaded to the downloads page, or link to the git 
instructions on the installation page?
