Bug#4181: Searching for wrong active file

[joey@wazergate.north.de (Martin Schulze)]

Package: nn
Version: 6.5.0.b3.linux.1.1-01

Debian's INN has its active file located in /var/lib/news/active.
The nn newsreader mentioned above unfortunately tries to read it 
from /usr/lib/news/active.

Here's an strace excerpt:

wazergate!joey:~> strace nn

uname({sys="Linux", node="wazergate", ...}) = 0
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY)            = 3
