Hello,
there is a bug in trn, also present in the upstream version.
By now most people will have discovered it as it started on
1 Januari. There is a bug in the NNTP time conversion which
causes trn to think there are a lot of new newsgroups every
time it starts up.
I've fixed it for now - the real fix would be to use the
ANSI mktime() function instead.
I think it is the package maintainers task to report this to
Wayne Davidson?
