Hi,

after marking 3 article-bodies in slrn for download i got this:

news at debian:~ - cat interesting.groups/de.comp.os.unix.x11
37
39
45

But after running fetchnews with -n ...

de.comp.os.unix.x11: skipping articles 1-19120 inclusive (initial
limit)
de.comp.os.unix.x11: getting bodies of marked messages...
de.comp.os.unix.x11: marked bodies 3
de.comp.os.unix.x11: Done getting article bodies.
de.comp.os.unix.x11: considering articles 19121 - 19370
de.comp.os.unix.x11: 0 articles fetched, 246 killed

... I have 3 additional articles ...

news at debian:~ - la -rt de/comp/os/unix/x11/
[...]
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news          754 2004-08-21 21:21 45
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news         1042 2004-08-21 21:21 46
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news          648 2004-08-21 21:21 47
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news          683 2004-08-21 21:21 48
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news         2580 2004-08-21 21:43 49
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news         2325 2004-08-21 21:43 50
-rw-rw-r--    2 news     news         2711 2004-08-21 21:43 51
-rw-rw-r--    1 news     news        14393 2004-08-21 21:43 .overview

... which are copies of the articles No. 37, 39, 45:

news at debian:~ - egrep -i 'direct rendering'
de/comp/os/unix/x11/.overview | cut -f1-2 |perl -pe 's/;.*//'
37      Direct rendering und Radeon 9200
39      Re: Direct rendering und Radeon 9200
45      Re: Direct rendering und Radeon 9200
49      Direct rendering und Radeon 9200
50      Re: Direct rendering und Radeon 9200
51      Re: Direct rendering und Radeon 9200

The bodies exist in messages No. 49, 50, 51 only. The 2nd problem is
that fetchnews leaves the files in interesting.groups/ untouched ...

news at debian:~ - cat interesting.groups/de.comp.os.unix.x11
37
39
45

... and fetches these articles again in the next run(s).

I'm running
leafnode         1.10.4.rel-1

In
http://www.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/pipermail/leafnode-list/2004q2/000384.html
someone reported something similar, but I think not texpire is the
problem but fetchnews is.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with my leafnode here, please?

TIA
Til
