You really should supply the actual version of the package when
reporting a bug.  The Debian revision is important.  Please consider
using a tool like reportbug which will collect this and other useful
information and include it in the report for you.

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/spool# rm -r news

Several directories under /var/spool/news are included in the Leafnode
package and are managed using dpkg.  If you delete these directories it
is unsurprising that the package does not function correctly.  

The nearest I can see to a bug here is that the value set for noactive
in the configuration file is ignored - if the option is specified at
all downloads of the active file are suppressed.  This is suprising but
the documentation does only mention '1' as a valid value and it's far
from a grave bug.
