Gnus complains about no such directory at the first time

Gnus complains about no such directory at the first time

[zwz]

I use gnus for news and gmail.
For some reason I deleted the ~/News and ~/Mails directories.
After that,
when I start gnus again, it complains in *Message* that
-------------
gnus-cache-update-file-total-fetched-for: Opening directory: no such
file or directory,
/home/zwz/News/cache/nntp+news.gmane.org:gwene.org.emacsen.planet
...
-------------
It complains for each group, and it stops fetching news each time, which is very
annoying.

Is it possible to config gnus to create the directory when necessary?

I am using the gnus coming along with Emacs 24.3.

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and post the resulting
backtrace.

Here is the resulting backtrace:
