[news.software.b] rnews -U doesn't work

cwiener@killer.UUCP (11/29/87)

I recently updated the news 2.11 software on my system to patchlevel 8
and now I find that rnews -U no longer works.  It does not unbundle the
/usr/spool/news/.rnews/* files. It just sits there after a small amount 
of disk activity.  My system configuration is USG and has SPOOLNEWS
defined.  Have I missed something here or am I the only one spooling
my incoming rnews.  I have tried patchlevels 12 and 13 with the same
results.  Help!

Make sure you rm any .rnews.lock file that happens to be
lying around in SPOOLDIR. That will cause rnews -U to hang.
