Question #78059 on slrn in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slrn/+question/78059

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
if you have the file in $HOME then you could create a symlink to the
file in the place it is reading

if:

file /etc/news/slrn.rc

says no such file or directory then you can run this:

sudo ln -s ~/slrn.rc /etc/news/slrn.rc

This will create a mirrored file (using zero space on the partition) to
the file in your $HOME directory in the place it appears to be looking
for the file.

I would log a bug too
