I run debian and all my installs/upgrades have been with apt-get.

Here's the output of texpire. At the group level it shows only 1 article
deleted yet the summary show 16761. When I read news (with slrn) it
shows a total of 62975 articles in triangle.general. There are still
duplicate articles (same Message-ID but different article numbers).
