#1 
There is a calculation error in texpire.c. The number of keept articles is 
equal to the number of <<number>> files in the group directory.  
It should be <<articles-in-group>> - <<deleted>>. 

[Part of  /var/log/news/news.info (host, time and pid stripped)]
texpire[..]: alt.2600: running without dry-run will delete 7 and keep 24 articles 
texpire[..]: alt.2600.hackerz: running without dry-run will delete 1 and keep 1 articles

# alt.2600 has 24  articles before deleting (and 24 afterwards because of
# dry run ) 

# should be .. 
texpire[..]: alt.2600: running without dry-run will delete 7 and keep 17 articles 
texpire[..]: alt.2600.hackerz: running without dry-run will delete 1 and keep 0 articles

FIX:
texpire.c:  869 .. 873
   if (dryrun)
            ln_log(LNLOG_SINFO, LNLOG_CGROUP, "%s: running without dry-run "
                   "will delete %lu and keep %lu articles", g->name, 
                   deleted, kept-deleted);
    else

fetchnews complaints about displaced config entries.  
[Part of  /var/log/news/news.info (host, time and pid stripped)]
fetchnews[..]: config: "expire=100" found in section of server news.cis.dfn.de, please move it to the top of any server declaration
. and many others ...

Does that mean that /etc/leafnode/config should be rearranged ?
Currently it has the same order as the config.example file.

--- config  begin 
source server definition
supplement server definition
expire 
group expire 
parameters 
server name 
--- config  end 

Bye
