Bug#691204: unblock: trn/3.6-23
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package trn
I've just uploaded trn 3.6-23, which fixes the release-critical bug
#681332. It does this by using debconf (specifically, the shared
template that e.g. trn4 uses) to prompt about /etc/news/server if
necessary during the configuration stage, rather than in postinst.

+Type: string
+Description: What news server should be used for reading and posting news?
+ trn is configured to read news via an NNTP connection, and needs to know
+ the fully-qualified host name of the server (such as news.example.com). If
+ you have a local news spool, you should consider installing some NNTP
+ server like inn2; in that case, enter "localhost" as your news server.
