Subject: Bug#4227: Tin TIN_NOVROOTDIR wrong value for tin

Package: tin
Version: 1.3beta.950824-12

The default value of TIN_NOVROOTDIR is /var/lib/news. The Debian INN uses
/var/lib/news/over.view to store the overview database. 

The result of this problem is two overview databases one in /var/lib/news and one in
/var/lib/news/over.view. Plus there is a slow response since tin has to generate those
indexes that are already there.

I fixed it by setting Version: 1.3beta.950824-12
TIN_NOVROOTDIR in /etc/profile

You mean /var/spool/news and /var/spool/news/over.view
