You have not read the README file (the TROUBLESHOOTING section). It says:

Problem: fetch hangs after writing something like "wrote
         /var/spool/news/de/comp/os/linux/misc/.overview"
Solution: This is not a problem at all, but fetch's normal behaviour.
          After getting all articles and storing them on your disk,
          fetch finishes after starting a sub-process which does some
          local cleanup in the background. This process is not controlled
          by the shell anymore but still writes to the terminal. The shell
          does not realize when this process ends and therefore cannot
          produce a prompt.
