OK, thank you, I missed that, ...

Sorry, I was not clear enough: trn depends on inews: # dpkg -s trn [...] Depends: libc5 (>= 5.4.13-1), ncurses3.0, inews [...] I wondered at deb-user about this, and you were so kindley to submit a bug report against. Then Steve McIntyre and Jon Rabone replied, that trn needs an inews to post news, because trn has no NNTP capabilities. Again, sorry for the confusion - I hope things are cleared up now. There is nothing to complain about leafnode, it works smoothly out of the box (indeed, if everything were so easy as installing leafnode, debian-user would be silent like an empty room!) > -- > see shy jo, leafnode maintainer -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
