That's why fetchnews is being run - the required updates can only be performed by asking the upstream news servers for more information about the groups than is stored by Leafnode 1. In general I'm not inclined to spend much effort on upgrade issues since there is currently no real prospect of Leafnode 2 being released in the forseeable future with one of the reasons cited being the prospect of further incompatible changes. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever."
