Subject: inn.conf has a parse error after upgrade

Hi,

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux unstable with INN 2.3.3-1 (Debian-Version:
Version: 2.3.999+20030227-1) which I upgraded yesterday.

After upgrade I had several problems:
Debians dselect configuration said:

Setting up inn2 (2.3.999+20030227-1) ...
Installing initial content for /var/lib/news/active
Installing initial content for /var/lib/news/newsgroups
[Here nothing was added. The old active- and newsgroups-files remained as
they were before.]

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/rc2.d/S99inn2 is not a link to ../init.d/inn2
[kubi@QBI050102:~$ ls -la /etc/rc2.d/S99inn2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2002-04-04 18:26 /etc/rc2.d/S99inn2 ->
/etc/init.d/inn2
IMHO this is a link.]

Starting news server: invoke-rc.d: initscript inn2, action "start" failed
dpkg: error processing inn2 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
inn2
[and son on ...]

After looking to the news.(notice|crit|err) I found following entries
within news.(notice|err):

May 22 15:10:01 QBI050102 rnews: /etc/news/inn.conf:20: parse error:
saw string, expecting semicolon or newline

The whole inn.conf-file was unchanged after the upgrade. Following you
find line 20-24 of my inn.conf:

line 20:mta: /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -oem %s
line 21:organization: Qbi's Welt
line 22:ovmethod: tradindexed
line 23:pathhost: news.kubieziel.de
line 24:pathnews: /usr/lib/news

IMHO line 20 (mta: ...) is OK and is the same like it is mentioned in
'man 5 inn.conf'.

So I have no clue were to find the error. Where could the error be?
INN2.3.2 was running without any problems before.
