I have resolved the issues you raised then but while a version 0.6 of
'postnews' was released in September of 2013, I did not have a chance to work
on updating the packaging of it. (New job at the time, then there was the
Jessie freeze...) There has now been a v0.6.1 release which I packaged and
which is now available as one of the packages I have at the mentors site,
where it is available (for instance) as follows:
dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/postnews/postnews_0.6.1-1.dsc
If you would still be willing to sponsor my updated 'postnews' package, I
would greatly appreciate it. (Note also that I am now a Debian Maintainer.)
