INN 2.5, inn-CURRENT-20090103 Issues

[William Kronert]

Yesterday morning I installed INN 2.5 using 
inn-CURRENT-20090103.  Thought I would mention 
the issues I have noted since it has been 
running.  I do not know if the issues are in part 
due to an installation problem on my end (though 
I did not detect any problems when installing) or 
the issues are related to the developmental version of INN.

I had been using INN 2.4.2 rpm on Fedora OS.  I 
removed the rpm, completely removed the spool and 
everything associated with the old version of INN 
and did a new fresh install of inn-CURRENT-20090103.

Issues:
When running: news.daily expireover lowmark I receive the following message:
- Use of uninitialized value in string eq at (eval 139) line 3
I don't know what that message means.

In the newsdaily report I don't see some stats 
that use to be reported and suspect a problem:
  - INND perl filter stats.   Perl is enabled and 
running the same Cleanfeed as before.  I do see 
rejects for the various Cleanfeed filters in news log.
  - NNRP readership statistics (by domain): 
appear in newsdaily but the size, groups, etc are 
empty and the NNRP readership statistics: are missing
    along with the NNRP total resource statistics.
  - Newsgroup request counts (by newsgroup) stats are missing.
  - NNRP no permission clients: is missing
I don't know if this has to do with the error 
message I get when running newsdaily or 
not.  Though I have noted in the news log when a 
reader connects to the server it is missing these 
various readership stats - I don't see the 
various newsgroups entered by a reader in the news log.

The biggest reason for upgrading to INN 2.5 was 
to get rid of this assertion connection.c 
problem.  Well the assertion issue is still a problem:

2009-01-04 19:39:50 innfeed: assertion -- cxn != 
NULL -- failed in file connection.c line 1171
2009-01-04 20:59:43 innfeed: assertion -- cxn != 
NULL -- failed in file connection.c line 1171
Etc
.

Except for the above it appears to be running 
very well so far.   If anyone has suggestions or 
ideas I would be thankful for any help.
