Thank you for your report. However, here I don't experience the problem you are sketching: doing a fresh install I can start mailman and it keeps running. The logs are there and it doesn't die. I'm a bit puzzled by what you describe: mailman failed to start but died after a minute? If it fails to start it dies immediately, or do you mean something differently? Just for the record, mailman has had these symbolic links in this fasion for years. Of course something could have changed in Mailman, but it isn't a new setup. In any case this bug needs further research to decide where the problem lies exactly because, as said, it works here so it isn't a generic problem that occurs for everyone. I'm off for a few days, perhaps someone else of the team can get to some more details in the meantime. Otherwise I'll pick it up when I get back. > Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Just a note, probably not related to this issue, but you're running a kernel from stable on an unstable system. I don't think that is a supported combination. cheers, Thijs
