      Description

      After picking a file from Flickr repository it has 0 size. Seems that Flickr API has changed recently.

      After digging a little I noticed that function repository_flickr::build_photo_url() returns empty string. Flickr method flickr.photos.getSizes returns smaller array than we expect.

      Did not test on versions smaller than 2.3
