Well, the subject header says it all.  I'm running cnews (latest patch
25-may-90) and every night I get some of those can't link messages.
The news spool directories and all the articles have news.news owner/group.
The specific articles mentioned in the messages are there and have multiple
links.  Obviously, one particular link that should have been made wasn't,
but why?  This is what showed up in /usr/lib/news/err* for 3 consecutive
nights.  Is this caused by something in the incoming articles?

relaynews: can't link to `talk/politics/misc/10'

relaynews: can't link to `comp/misc/28'
relaynews: can't link to `comp/sources/wanted/22'
relaynews: can't link to `comp/lang/perl/5'
relaynews: can't link to `comp/periphs/2'

relaynews: can't link to `comp/misc/12'
relaynews: can't link to `comp/dcom/lans/1'
relaynews: can't link to `comp/unix/xenix/sco/11'
relaynews: can't link to `misc/jobs/misc/60'

This is puzzling.  Any insight will be welcome.  Thanks in advance.
