Package: inn2 Version: 2.6.4-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** We are building a bullseye replacement of a buster server that uses inn2 to act as a local usenet server. When we try to start the service using "systemctl start inn2.service" we get this error message: ? inn2.service - InterNetNews Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/inn2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2022-05-13 15:28:34 PDT; 18s ago Docs: man:innd(8) Process: 3284 ExecStart=/usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news (code=exited, status=238/STATE_DIRECTORY) Main PID: 3284 (code=exited, status=238/STATE_DIRECTORY) CPU: 1ms May 13 15:28:34 usenet-dev.stanford.edu systemd[1]: Starting InterNetNews...
