Subject: inn2: posting fails with filter_nnrpd.pl

Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2013 03:23:52 +0200

Package: inn2
Version: 2.5.3-3
Severity: important

Posting fails when filter_nnrpd.pl is in place and filter_post is defined.
The error message reported by the client is "Bizzare copy of UNKOWN". nnrpd
only logs "SERVER perl filtering enabled". Posting fails with the dpkg-dist
filter_nnrpd.pl and with custom version. Posting is unhindered if
filter_nnrpd.pl is not present or if filter_post is not defined in
filter_nnrpd.pl. As "Bizzare copy of UNKOWN" is a diagnostic of perl the error
might also originate from there.

Yes, this is because libperl is built with LFS support and the regular
inn2 package is not, and the conflict breaks the Perl ABI.  It apparently
only affects nnrpd; innd doesn't seem to have the same problem, so one
workaround is to use the innd Perl filter instead of the nnrpd one.  Of
course, it can't do all of the same things.

The LFS version of the inn2 package (inn2-lfs) doesn't have this problem,
so if you can switch to that, it will fix the problem.  However, the
on-disk data formats are not compatible, so you'd have to go through the
whole database rebuild process (and if you use CNFS or timecaf, you'd have
to feed the articles to a newly-built server; there's currently no way to
do an in-place upgrade of those).

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655748 for more
information.

Actually somebody on #debian-devel said that they have been able to 
reuse their CNFS spool when switching to 64 bit.

Oh, hey, you're right.  CNFS actually does the right thing when storing
the header on disk.  Awesome.

So it's really only CAF that has this problem, plus having to rebuild
history and overview.

Changes: 
 inn2 (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream release. Fixes:
     + "cant select" error messages. (Closes: #708682)
     + incorrectly linking with -L/usr/lib. (Closes: #722785)
   * Do not delete the spool when inn2 replaces inn2-lfs. (Closes: #732047)
   * Stop building the half-broken and unsupportable LFS package and
     implement a transition strategy for its users.
     There is no migration path for timecaf users due to incompatible disk
     formats. A possible solution may involve feeding the articles to the
     new server using the old innxmit binary from a temporary chroot
     containing the old spool, history and /etc/news/. (Closes: #655748)
   * Build a replacement transitional inn2-lfs package on the architectures
     which had the old one.
   * Fix debian/rules to make sure again that wget is used instead of
     simpleftp. (Closes: #729606)
   * Move the example active and newsgroups files out of /usr/share/doc/.
     (Closes: #710417)
   * Use su -s in the maintainer scripts. (Closes: #736818)
   * Stop mentioning trn in the package description. (Closes: #691249)
