ii nn 6.5.1-7 Heavy-duty USENET news reader Hello, nn package broken?
leafnode is installed and works fine, read my news with gnus, read my news with lynx, even read them news with $ telnet localhost nntp ;-) but then I decided to convert to another newsreader, and really would like to give nn a try. $ nn could not fetch active file ( the same goes for any option, even for $ nn --help ) A strace on nn informes me: ... open("/var/lib/news/active", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... The documentation explains about a database, how nnmaster maintains it, and it explains about an active file. The nnmaster (8) manpage was installed ( in accordance to /var/lib/dpkg/info/nn.list ), I change to root: # nn<TAB> nn nncheck nngrep nnpost nntidy nnview there seems to be no nnmaster programm: not in the nn-package not anywhere else on my potato cds ( checked the Contents-i386.gz file directly on the disks ) not on my system ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/.../NN_Frequently_Asked_Questions_ ... didn't make me any wiser. How could it be, what's wrong? thanks max.
