This past weekend I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade from B2.11.14 to
B2.11.19 .

I was careful to disable anything which would try to run inews, while the
install was going on.  I did 'make update' after 'make install', and then
tried to run an 'expire -r -I -e 999999 -E 999999'.  But expire died, saying
    Bogus local distribution rejected
I tried some variations on the arguments, but always got the same result.

As far as I could tell the active file was in the new format and correct.

(Not sure if this is related, but inews refused any attempts of mine to
test-post an article, saying "Dec  9 09:43	local	Duplicate article 
<41961@src.honeywell.com> rejected. Path: jkimball".)

So, I've backed out to 2.11.14.

I'm sure that this problem has been seen before;  what am I missing?  I'd
really like to move beyond 2.11.14.  (So far I'm intending to stick to B
news rather than C news because it sounds like C requires more tweaking if
you run NNTP, which we do.)

Thanks!
