Hi,
since a few days I cannot read gmane.emacs.help anymore. When fetching
new messages, the *Group* buffer indicates that it has some new
articles, but when I hit RET on it I get:
20080306T100211.248> Retrieving newsgroup: nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.help...
20080306T100211.300> Fetching headers for nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.help...
20080306T100217.281> Fetching headers for nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.help...done

20080306T100217.372> Scoring...done
20080306T100217.373> No articles in the group
20080306T100217.382> Exiting summary buffer and applying spam rules
20080306T100217.432> No unread news
When I enter it with `C-u 200 RET' it starts downloading 15MB and the
newest messages I get are from yesterday.
I tried expiring and regenerating the group's agent cache yesterday, but
that didn't help either. The regeneration took more than 4 hours with
output like "Regenerating NOV entry for X..." counting from X > 50000 to
1.
While writing this mail I tried `gnus-agent-flush-group'. Here are the
results after doing that:
- C-u 10 RET => downloads 15 MB, Summary shows 10 msgs which are the
newest when comparing with the gmane web interface
- C-u 10 RET => No articles in the group
- C-u 30 RET => downloads 15 MB, Summary shows 20 msgs
- C-u 31 RET => downloads 15 MB, Summary shows 1 msg
- C-u 30 RET => No articles in the group
- C-u 32 RET => downloads 15 MB, Summary shows 1 msg
- C-u 35 RET => downloads 15 MB, Summary shows 3 msgs
- C-u 35 RET => downloads 15 MB, Summary shows 19 rather old msgs
The 15 MB it fetches are always between 15114 and 15120 KB.
Oh, now I noted that flushing should be followed by an expiry, but after
`M-x gnus-agent-flush-cache' on gmane.emacs.help followed by `M-x
gnus-agent-expire-group' it says:
20080306T104206.979> Expiring articles in nntp+Gmane:gmane.emacs.help

I got such a "Missing NOV message" yesterday, but the regeneration
didn't fix it. Today I don't have another 4 hours time...
So what can I do to debug the problem if you want more infos? Or how do
I get gnus functional for that group again, maybe by deleting some stuff
from ~/News/agent/?
Bye,
Tassilo
