emerge --info

After updating perl-Sys-Syslog to 0.330.100_rc-r1 some scripts stop working (e.g. send-uucp; "Argument "0.33_01" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at /usr/lib64/news/bin/send-uucp line 56." is mailed to me every time cron runs this script).

A possible patch is shown at the submitted webside. (didn't test it yet)

I had a look at the source code at https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/ :
The bug is fixed in inn-2.6.1 but not in 2.5.4.
Comment 1 Volker R. Müller 2017-02-11 09:10:47 UTC
Original Source-Code: bug is not fixed in inn-2.5.5 or 2.6.0 either.

inn-2.6.1.ebuild

I have tried to bump it, but it fails to build with:
/var/tmp/portage/net-nntp/inn-2.6.1/work/inn-2.6.1/storage/.libs/libstorage.so: undefined reference to `HISlookup'
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2018-02-08 13:35:31 UTC
This also have other three opened bugs :/
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2018-03-17 19:38:53 UTC
Its removal would also cause the removal of net-nntp/suck, CCing the maintainers of that one
Comment 5 Michael Vetter 2018-03-17 21:20:30 UTC
suck maintainer here.

Unfortunately I don't know much about inn except that suck can use libinn. Not sure how to help here.

if the support is optional, the solution would be to disable it

It seems you would need to pass --without-inn-lib and  --without-inn-include
