Package: mailman Version: 1:2.1.13-5 Severity: normal
On running /etc/init.d/mailman start on a system with about 300 lists, the following message appears on stderr: --- close failed in file object destructor: Error in sys.excepthook: Original exception was: --- The reason is given at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman/+bug/1015369 To summarise, the error is from list_lists when it can't write to stdout, but the daemon does start correctly. list_lists probably shouldn't do this, but the suggested workaround is replacement of "grep -q" in the init script with a redirect to /dev/null.
