Gmane group: "411 no such group"

Gmane group: "411 no such group"

[Florent Georges]

  Hi,

  I am trying to subscribe to a Gmane group.  I did:

    - B (in the group buffer)
    - nntp
    - news.gmane.org
    - put the point on gmane.text.xml.xquery.general
    - u

  In the group buffer, the group appears without any article
count (but "*" instead), even if I update the buffer.  If I try
to open the group, I get the following error:

    Couldn't activate group nntp+news.gmane.org:
    gmane.text.xml.xquery.general: 411 no such group

  Any idea?

  Regards,

Try opening the group from the list you got directly from the server
(where you hit `u').  If it doesn't work, try the GMane web interface to
see if this group is supported at all.

  Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately, the symptom is the
same if I type RET in the group list from the server (the 411
message above).  About the group name, yes I copied & pasted it
from there:

    http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.xquery.general

  I really do not have any clue nor any direction where to
investigate further :-(

  Thank you for trying :-)  Regards,

I tried and this works fine for me.  I am not sure what to suggest.
Maybe look in the NNTP logs?  `M-x toggle-debug-on-error' and see if
you're getting errors?  Make sure your Gnus and Emacs are up to date?
