Hi Bastiaan,

> /usr/lib/news/bin/controlchan line 73: contains the following check:

I would suggest to just change that line to:

   if ($Sys::Syslog::VERSION lt 0.15) {


Note that there are other Perl scripts shipped with INN that have that 
check for a not-too-old Sys::Syslog package, and should therefore also 
be patched to use "lt" instead of "<".
Of course, when using current Debian packages, Sys::Syslog will always 
be recent enough.
