Package: suck
Version: 4.2.2-4
get-news contains two series of commands to call suck and to save the
new status files that it generates. If the server being used is not
the default one, or there is no default server, it will call mv with a
wildcard `${STATEDIR}/suck.*.${SITENAME}', whereas if the server is
the default it checks for two specific files that this wildcard would
match and moves them if they exist. If suck has not downloaded any
news, neither of these files will be created, the wildcard will fail
to match anything, and mv will report an error similar to this:
mv: /var/state/suck/suck.*.news.demon.co.uk: No such file or directory
This did not happen before I upgraded the suck package yesterday. I
don't know what version I was using previously, as neither apt nor
dpkg seem to keep a log of upgrades.
Here's the get-news.conf I've been using:
# Debian GNU/Linux suck package /usr/sbin/get-news config file
# Your default local NNTP server.
# (inn note: must be in /etc/news/hosts.nntp)
server: localhost
# The default NNTP server you will connect to. Suck will use
# the defaults files sucknewsrc, suckkillfile and suckothermsgs
# for this default remote server.
#remoteserver: news.demon.co.uk
# The default outgoing articles file for your default remote server.
# (inn note: see /etc/news/newsfeeds)
outgoingfile: remotehost
# The sed command used for outgoing articles.
sedcmd: /^NNTP-Posting-Host:\|^Xref:\|^Originator:/d
# The userid to send to the remote server.
#userid:
# The password to send to the remote server.
#password:
# The remote server port number if not standard.
#remoteport:
---END---
I consider that there is needless duplication of code in get-news and
that this is part of the cause of this bug and bug number 66608.
Here's a patch that merges the two branches together, hopefully fixing
both bugs:
