No problem with emacs 23 gnus that comes from cvs with emacs. sidenote : I got frustrated with the debian "mess" and totally removed emacs from debian (ubuntu is based on debian) and now just use cvs emacs and manually downloaded anything else I needed. Whenever I had an issue with Debian emacs and asked in #emacs irc, people would run a mile. It's a lot nicer to have this "self contained" emacs environment than having to figure out how or what Debian is doing.
