Re: Newsboat is crashing on startup

Thanks, I will try wip/newsboat next. There are a few packages in
pkgsrc which have been bugging me under NetBSD-current, this one got
into this list last year with the discussion from SDF.org; the others
are nodejs and especially mono ( I don't remember the last time I was
able to compile and use mono, it was perhaps 3-4 years ago ). Not that
I particularly need them every day, but still...
