I quit using the agent for a while but now wanted to start fresh
again.
The steps I took were to close gnus down. Get cvs updated, then
rename ~/News/agent to ~/News/agentX and restart gnus, having
uncommented (gnus-agentize) in ~/.gnus.
First thing I noticed was that our gnu had shed his red coat and grew
a white one.... Has that been changed or is this the first indicator
of some local screw up?
Other things seemed to be working, and the needed directories: agent and
sub directories were created, except no agent/lib appeared.
I thought maybe that only happened if I did something with the agent
category interface (`J C' in group buffer)
So proceeded to call `J C' in group buffer. There I see the expected
default:0
So pressing `p' to edit the predicate, I see `nil', so I enter `true'
and remove `nil'. Attempting to save that edit buffer gives this
back trace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument consp nil)
setcar(nil true)
(lambda (predicate) (setcar (cdr ...) predicate) (gnus-category-write) (gnus-category-list))(true)
gnus-edit-form-done()
call-interactively(gnus-edit-form-done)
Creating the News/agent/lib directory by hand doesn't help. I get
the same backtrace
Can anyone confirm that there is a problem there? Or is it something local?

Well, it _is_ Oort Gnus now. And the pictures of Oort are not really
so red.
It's cool, it's far-out, it's Oort!

But it ort to be red..
After all the parts that are going away from us are supposed to be
red-shifted. Or Mr. Doppler will turn over in his grave.

Hm... Perhaps that's the third sentence I wanted.
"It's big. It's cool. It's far out."

I see this too with a non-cvs version of 0.04. I believe that this is
the correct fix,
