"rmgrp" bug
The "rmgrp" script has a bug which can cause groups which are subgroups
of the group being removed to also be removed.  For example, if I run
"rmgrp net.games" it will remove net.games, net.games.rogue, and net.
games.pacman (assuming they all exist).  This is obviously not what's
desired!  The fix is trivial:

diff rmgrp- rmgrp
10c10
/usr/lib/news/active
---
>       sed /\^$i$\$/d  /usr/lib/news/active
