I am having much trouble getting expire to work correctly on my
system. It seems that the only thing that works correctly is
expire -hir
(some of the options may be redundant, I know). But just plain
expire won't work and neither will expire -i or expire -I or
expire -e10 -[iI].
I am not real sure of the patch level this expire is at as I began
work on applying patches up to level 13 shortly after I applied the
previous patches and I don't remember where I started the last
patches from. I have not yet implemented the bunch I am currently
working on. I suspect my expire is at level 8 or 9.
In any event, expire doesn't seem to expire anything at all.
I am running System V Release 2 on a NSC32000 based machine.
Can anyone out there give me any advice on how to fix this
problem??

I can't tell you how to fix it I can tell you that I have
the same problem. My "solution" is to just include the -h
flag and then weekly rebuild the history file. (Yeah, yeah,
I know, 'expire -r' losses all the information on past
articles. I'm on a leaf node, I don't care.)
One of these days I plan to take expire apart and fix it....
