Problems with newsx_0.11-1

[Remco Blaakmeer <remco@blaakmeer.student.utwente.nl>]

Hi,

After upgrading newsx this morning, I noticed out it no longer worked
properly. I found out two things:

- newsx tries to find the newsfeeds file in /var/lib/news , while it has
always been in /etc/news .
- newsx tries to create a lock file in /usr/lib/news , where only root has
write rights (and beside that, no program should create temporary files
under /usr)

I don't know what caused these problems. I have unpacked the newsx source
files and compiled the program: 

# dpkg-source -x newsx_0.11-1.dsc
# cd newsx-0.11
# make
# cd src
# strip newsx
(skipped all output, which looked OK)

The resulting newsx binary runs fine and with no errors, which puzzles me.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Remco
