This happens because each news server assigns its own article numbers to individual articles. If you wait long enough the problem will fix itself, but it might take a long time. Meanwhile, you can fix it just by deleting the files that reference those obsolete article numbers, ~/.pan2/newsrc-* and ~/.pan2/newsgroups.xov. Here is a typical line from one of those files: gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user: 0-10220 In general, those article numbers (0-10220) will be different for each news server, so you need to get rid of the old ones because they are now wrong. After you delete those files pan will need to download the list of newsgroups from each server you use, but only once. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
