Sorry to butt in, but I have a slightly different gnus issue with Emacs
27.0.50 (build 1, i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5) of
2019-03-24. Before building, I had deleted all the .elc files in
lisp/gnus. When I launch gnus it fetches the gmane news and imap mail
satisfactory, but throws a warning on nnrss feeds I've not seen before:
Warning: Warning - invalid active: "nnrss:AnnPhys" 2059 1 y; Warning -
invalid active: "nnrss:JMO" 284 1 y; Warning - invalid active:
"nnrss:PRA" 307 1 y; Warning - invalid active: "nnrss:PRL" 852 1 y;
Warning - invalid active: "nnrss:ProcRSocA" 141 1 y; Warning - invalid
active: "nnrss:JPhysA" 133 1 y
I don't get this warning using emacs-26.1. I'm using Debian 3.16.59-1
(2018-10-03) i686 GNU/Linux.
Best wishes,
Colin.
