[leafnode-list] Warning: aborting fetch due to previous condition.

[Rein Klazes]

Hi,


After upgrading a Debian testing box, fetchnews refuses to read messages
from two (out of three) of the configured news servers. 

Here is a cutout of the log for one of them:

leafnode 1.9.52.rel: verbosity level is 0, debugmode is 1

The other failing news server quits in the same way:

|Apr 22 10:49:15 bali fetchnews[4422]: newsbin.cistron.nl: reading server info from /var/spool/news/leaf.node/newsbin.cistron.nl
|Apr 22 10:49:15 bali fetchnews[4422]: >GROUP nl.comp.programmeren
|Apr 22 10:49:15 bali fetchnews[4422]: <411 No such group nl.comp.programmeren
|Apr 22 10:49:15 bali fetchnews[4422]: Warning: aborting fetch from newsbin.cistron.nl due to previous condition.
|Apr 22 10:49:15 bali fetchnews[4422]: >QUIT

It looks like it does not like to start trying a non existent group.

Rein.
