Hi Bastiaan,
/usr/lib/news/bin/controlchan line 73: contains the following check:
if ($Sys::Syslog::VERSION < 0.15) {
which gives the following error in /var/log/news/errlog
Argument "0.33_01" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<)
I would suggest to just change that line to:
if ($Sys::Syslog::VERSION lt 0.15) {
Note that there are other Perl scripts shipped with INN that have that
check for a not-too-old Sys::Syslog package, and should therefore also
be patched to use "lt" instead of "<".
Of course, when using current Debian packages, Sys::Syslog will always
be recent enough.
