Package: slrn
Version: 1.0.0~pre18-1.1
Severity: normal
Launching after previously sending a SIGQUIT reports the following:
Connected to host. Posting ok.
Checking news ...
* The autosave file of /home/user/.jnewsrc is newer than the file itself.
Do you want to restore your newsrc from the autosave version? [Y]es, No
This means slrn is not properly saving the .jnewsrc in response to:
"pkill -SIGQUIT slrn"
Furthermore, there is no workaround. Perhaps this reflects a second
bug. The following should theoretically automate an "interactive"
quit when slrn is running within a GNU screen terminal:
screen -S my_session -p $(w -hus user | grep slrn | awk '{print $3}' | cut
-d. -f2) -X stuff "qy"
This fails because slrn prompts for confirmation (in response to the
"q"), but then ignores the "y" that was sent immediately after the "q".
