Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pan
Package Version: 0.132-2ubuntu2
System: Hardy Heron with kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
Here is how you can replicate the issue:
$ pan & pan &
[1] 25739
[2] 25740
$
$ killall pan
shutting down pan.
shutting down pan.
$ (data-io.cc:207:finalize_ostream) ERROR renaming from
[/home/marco/.pan2/newsrc-1.tmp] to [/home/marco/.pan2/newsrc-1]: No such file
or directory
(data-io.cc:209:finalize_ostream) ERROR chmodding [/home/marco/.pan2/newsrc-1]:
No such file or directory
Next time you launch pan, the whole group list is lost. In rare cases,
which I am unable ro replicate right now, pan ruins the news server
configuration too.
As a user, I have solved the problem by launching pan through a trivial
bash script and not directly:
#!/bin/bash
if ! pgrep '^pan$' >/dev/null; then
pan &
fi
but I think that a similar check ought to be done by pan itself.
