I recently upgraded from Xubuntu 20.04 to 22.04.1. The upgrade was very rocky, but no changes were made (by me!) to the inn2 installation. Inn is the standard repository package version 2.6.4-2build4. The news system is working generally. Ever since
the upgrade, I'm getting a steady stream of the error message (see subject line) but I cannot determine why. The file exists where it always has. (Note that /var/www is a symlink and the actual path is /x/u/www/inn/inn_status.html)
% ls -l /var/www/inn/inn_status.html
-rw-rw-r-- 1 news news 1057 Sep 2 15:25 /var/www/inn/inn_status.html
All programs in /usr/lib/news/bin are owned by root. The /etc/cron.d/inn2 file remains unchanged.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
