Arch Linux news feed moved permanently #41

On a clean Arch installation pacmatic never produces /var/log/arch-news.log. It fails to download and parse the news because the location moved permanently and curl command is missing the flag -L to follow redirects.

I just wanted to add that I had this issue and adding "-L" to the aforementioned curl command absolutely fixed it for me

This can also be fixed by removing the www.. I would make a PR but I can't find an open source license for this code.
