- System: rn version 4.3
- Patch #: 26
- Priority: LOW
- Subject: Catch command can throw off unread article count
- >From: msb@lsuc.UUCP (Mark Brader)
-
- Description:
- If more articles are found for a newsgroup after a catchup command
- has been executed, the count of unread articles will be off. This
- is a hangover from when catchup always threw you out of the newsgroup,
- so it didn't bother keeping track of unread articles because it knew
- it would be recomputed later.
-
- Fix: From rn, say "| patch -d DIR", where DIR is your rn source directory.
- Outside of rn, say "cd DIR; patch <thisarticle". If you don't have
- the patch program, apply the following by hand, or get patch.
-
- If patch indicates that patchlevel is the wrong version, you may need
- to apply one or more previous patches, or the patch may already
- have been applied. See the patchlevel file to find out what has or
- has not been applied. In any event, don't continue with the patch.
