Well, that was embarrassing

[Devin Carraway]

Posts are flowing again, after the group was more or less broken for
about a month. The root cause is somewhat obscure, a security fix made
to Debian's perl distribution and pushed out as point release to Debian
Stable, which broke one of our robomod's dependencies.

No articles were lost, and I've requeued and approved all the non-spam
posts that came in since the outage began. However, since our injection
point won't accept articles older than a given date, I had to strip off
the original Date: headers; they can be found as X-Original-Date: in
each article if you need them for some reason.

Sorry it took so long to notice -- group traffic is obviously quite low
nowadays, and the specific way it broke made it do so quietly; it even
continued working in the ways I tested it during the month while doing
other things. Thanks to Eli for going so far as to write to the
moderators list and ask.
