No problem, I checked gnus-utils.el before, to be sure of the correct
package to submit the bug ;-)

Well, AFAIK this is not the case, read the bug #322189 [1] for other
info (I thought the same before).

Eheheh... Downgrading it considering not to be safe, as from
/usr/share/doc/gnus/GNUS-NEWS.gz:

=====
** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.

If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading
to this version.  In particular, you will probably want to remove the
`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are
read from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file,
where this release will store flags for nntp.  See a later entry for
more information about nntp marks.  Note that downgrading isn't safe
in general.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
