Looking at the error message, I take it you're using the version of
inews in the 'inews' package. That looks in /var/lib/news/active to find
the list of possible newsgroups. If you have a local news server, make
sure 'test' is in its active file. If you don't, you'll need to install
inewsinn or inn2-inews instead.
