Bug#780868: unblock: leafnode/1.11.10-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock leafnode. It fixes 759869 (which was filed with
severity "important", but could just as well have been filed with
RC severity; if the Cron job isn't executed news messages older than
the cut-off age aren't removed from the news spool).
