I noticed the agent started downloading headers for groups twice when
doing `J s', and it seem to be because each server is listed twice in
~/News/agent/lib/servers, e.g.:
("news.gmane.org" "nntp:news.gmane.org" ...)
So I `J r' all servers, restarted emacs and started Gnus and `J a' my
servers again, and the file look the same (i.e., servers listed
twice).
Anyone else seeing this?
My agent settings are rather minimalistic:
'(gnus-agent-consider-all-articles t)
'(gnus-agent-enable-expiration (quote DISABLE))
'(gnus-select-article-hook (quote (gnus-agent-fetch-selected-article ...
Btw, why doesn't gnus-agent-enable-expiration take on standard elisp
boolean values like nil and t instead of 'ENABLE and 'DISABLE? And
should expiring really be on by default? Expiring is not on by
default elsewhere in Gnus, AFAIK.

Some additional information, I noticed `G E' on some affected groups
showed:
("nntp+news.gmane.org:gmane.comp.sysutils.automake.patches" 3
((1 . 1468))
((seen
(1344 . 1468)))
"news.gmane.org")
Notice that the server is "news.gmane.org" and not
"nntp:news.gmane.org" which I would expect. I'm replacing all such
occurrences with the fully qualified server name now and checking if
it helps...

This helped. To another agent problem:
The agent add/remove commands in the server buffer are confused.
Starting situation:
{nntp:news.nada.kth.se} (opened)
That is my native server, i.e.:
'(gnus-select-method (quote (nntp "news.nada.kth.se" (nntp-address "localhost") (nntp-port-number 1191))))
I press J a:
Entered nntp:news.nada.kth.se into the Agent
{nntp:news.nada.kth.se} (opened)
Notice no (agent)
I press J a again and get
Entered nntp:news.nada.kth.se into the Agent
{nntp:news.nada.kth.se} (opened) (agent)
Now the lib/servers file contain:
("nntp:news.nada.kth.se" "native")
Bad...

This behavior is due to the agent using server names, rather than
methods, to keep track of the agentized servers. As you noted, your
configuration provided a server name that was not fully qualified so
the agent used it.

Interesting, this is further evidence of problems with the method/name
mapping. I made changes to that code this morning (29 Dec). Have you
updated to the latest CVS since then?

Yes. I cannot reproduce this error, so consider it caused by an
earlier problem that corrupted my .newsrc.eld, and now solved.

Yes, I'm running latest CVS now, and I was able to reproduce it again.
The first J a add "native" and the second add "nntp:news.nada.kth.se".

I'm unable to reproduce this here. When I try to reproduce it, the
first 'J a' adds "native" to the list, and the second generates a
warning message about the server already being agentized. Would you
mind tracing the execution of gnus-agent-add-server?
