TokenGazetteer - ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

Hi Johann,
Today I updated one of the lists which I'm using for TokenGazetteer. Then I got this error:

<ipython-input-4-3f5752b84418> in GazDet(doc)
    225     doc = Annie(doc, port2)
    226     for detail in details:
--> 227         tgaz = TokenGazetteer(Details_path + "/" + detail + ".def", fmt="gate-def", annset="", all=False, skip=True, outset="Resume", outtype=detail)
    228         gazdoc = tgaz(doc)
    229     return gazdoc

    176                     )

    292                                     feats[fname] = fval
    293                             else:

ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

Would you please help on this?

Could it be that some lines in a lst file does not conform to the proper format?
This should be: the gazetteer entry, optionally followed by one or more times: a tab, then a featurename, then an equal sign, then a feature value.
E.g.

some gaz entry->feature1=value1->feature2=value2

It is not possible to have a feature entry where the feature name or the value or the equal sign is missing and there must be no tab if it is not followed by a feature entry.
