Package: tin Version: 1.3beta.950824-12 The default value of TIN_NOVROOTDIR is /var/lib/news. The Debian INN uses /var/lib/news/over.view to store the overview database.
The result of this problem is two overview databases one in /var/lib/news and one in /var/lib/news/over.view. Plus there is a slow response since tin has to generate those indexes that are already there. I fixed it by setting Version: 1.3beta.950824-12 TIN_NOVROOTDIR in /etc/profile
