Subject: could not fetch active file

Package: nn
Version: 6.5.0.b3.linux.1.1-01

I don't know why, but obviously this nn doesn't work.

All I get is:

$ nn
could not fetch active file

$ cat /etc/news/server
nacken.north.de
$ hostname -f
nacken.north.de

After stracing nn again (I have reported this half a year ago!!) 
I saw, that nn want's to read /usr/lib/news/active again.

Here are excerpts:

[..]
stat("/var/spool/nn/DATA/0", 0x8037260) = -1 ERRNO_2 (No such file or directory)
[..]
open("/etc/news/server", O_RDONLY)      = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=16, ...}) = 0
brk(0x8046000)                          = 0x8046000
read(3, "nacken.north.de\n", 4096)      = 16
close(3)                                = 0
uname({sys="Linux", node="nacken", ...}) = 0
[..]
open("/usr/lib/news/active", O_RDONLY)  = -1 ERRNO_2 (No such file or directory)
fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(4, 194), ...}) = 0
brk(0x804e000)                          = 0x804e000
ioctl(1, 0x5401, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
write(1, "could not fetch active file\n", 28) = 28
write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1

So obvously it doesn't work correct. Hopefully this time this bug will be corrected!
