It seems you have lost your history database. Since newsx only *reads*
this database, the loss of it must have other causes. Perhaps a disk
going full?
Rebuilding the history database is easy enough. If you run C news, just
start mkhistory. For INN, start makehistory.

PS: Did newsx stop fetching news when it found out the history database
was lost? It really doesn't have to - it can continue without it. I'll
look into it.
