Starting about two days ago I have suddenly started having a problem with one newsgroup I am subscribed before. The relevant messages are: Retrieving newsgroup: comp.text.tex... Fetching headers for comp.text.tex...done Scoring...done Generating summary...done Auto-saving... Wrapped [5 times] No more unread articles No more unread articles (selecting rec.arts.sf.written)... Retrieving newsgroup: rec.arts.sf.written... Fetching headers for rec.arts.sf.written... byte-code: End of file during parsing I have no problem with any other newsgroup. I have not changed my .emacs in months. As can be seen the previous newsgroup reads without problems. I tried removing my ADAPT and SCORE files as these might have been a source of problems, but it makes no difference. I have marked the whole group read, but the problem persists with new posts. Nothing appears to have changed in /usr/share/emacs/. I would appreciate any suggestions. -- Stephen Harker s.harker@adfa.edu.au PEMS http://sjharker.customer.netspace.net.au/ UNSW@ADFA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Stephen, Could the "end of file during parsing" be corruption in the ~/.newsrc.eld file? That's my only (possibly pretty far-fetched) guess. -- I use grml (http://grml.org/) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Strange. What does it say when you hit `?'? > Could the "end of file during parsing" be corruption in the > ~/.newsrc.eld file? That's my only (possibly pretty far-fetched) > guess. I think, if it was corrupted it would error as soon as gnus tries to read it the first time and not only with this one specific group. Some more guesses: - Do you have (gnus-compile) in your ~/.gnus.el? If so, comment it out and restart emacs. Fire up Gnus, do something and hit `s' in *Group* so that it saves the ~/.newsrc.eld. Restart emacs and gnus and try to enter rec.arts.sf.written. I think, you still get an error but maybe a bit more informative. - Do you have a special gnus-summary-line-format set for that group, e.g., via gnus-parameters? Maybe that's somehow broken? - Did you use a newer version of emacs once? If so, maybe the (gnus-compile) compiled something in ~/.newsrc.eld to byte-code that's not understood by emacs 22.

What does it say when you hit `?'? That is taken from the message buffer. I don't get the debugger buffer unless I create it from another error.

I could not find any obvious problem in the .newsrc.eld file. I tried copying a .newsrc.eld file from a backup prior to the error starting and find the same error. > Some more guesses: > > - Do you have (gnus-compile) in your ~/.gnus.el?

I used Fedora 17 which comes with emacs 24, I think it was emacs-24.1-4. Running gnus with the later emacs and opening rec.arts.sf.written resulted in an error message saying there was a fault in the rec.arts.sf.written.ADAPT file, but proceeding and overwriting it after exiting with a version that works with the older emacs also. When I replaced the rec.arts.sf.written.ADAPT with a backup version I must not have gone far enough back. It may have been the first version in which the error was written to the file. I thought I had gone back two days, but evidently not. -- Stephen Harker s.harker@adfa.edu.au PEMS http://sjharker.customer.netspace.net.au/ UNSW@ADFA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
