When I click "Post --> Post a new article", I receive the error message:
Failed to open terminal.S-Lang Error: Unknown Error Code
SLcurses_initscr: init failed
I am using package slang1 version 1.3.9-1. (I assume that these versions
of slang and knews are incompatible.)
I am using Debian potato, Linux kernel 2.2.13
and libc-2.1.2.so (libc6 version 2.1.2-10).

I've now taken over maintenance of knews.

I think this must have been the case. Perhaps you were using a working
editor manually for everything else and the default editor on your
system (update-alternatives --config editor) was broken. It's probably
much too late now to discover what the problem was, but at any rate it
doesn't appear to have been a knews bug.
