Good, please keep transition problem reports coming. Upgrading to
Oort should be smooth, but I'm sure it isn't well tested.

This happens if you try to supersede an article with a Cancel-Lock
header and you don't have a local cancel lock password configured.
The cancel lock password is generated when you post, and then saved in
your ~/.emacs. So there are two reasons why you didn't have a cancel
lock password: 1) you didn't post the article 2) saving the
cancel-lock password failed.
As it happens, it was 3) the cancel-lock code uses a separate variable
when verifying messages that would have been set correctly if you
restarted Emacs, but not if you tried to supersede an article in the
same Emacs session as the one where you ran Oort for the first time.
