Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.9-5
Severity: normal
(This report was originally erroneously filed as a followup for bug
#391700.)
We recently moved our mailing lists from an old server running sarge to
a new server running etch. We migrated the lists by simply copying all
the data in /var/lib/mailman/ over.
Most of our lists are internal, but we noticed that a few of our lists
stopped getting their pipermail archives updated at various times after
the migration. These lists were specifically those which often receive
foreign-language spam.
Some extra searching about the problem turned up what seems to be a very
relevant bug filed upstream [1]. In the discussion are pointers to a
couple discussions on the mailman mailing lists about this bug. This
message [2] is particularly interesting, because it speculates that "if
you upgrade in the middle of a month, you get this problem in the
database."

We ended up regenerating the archives of the broken lists with a
/var/lib/mailman/bin/arch --wipe <listname>. However, this was possible
only because we had both an mbox archive and the HTML archives. After
that, things were fixed.
During the time that the pipermail archives were stuck, we got a large
number of errors of the following form in /var/log/mailman/error:

Anyway, these things pose a very interesting problem for sarge -> etch
upgrades, and it should be addressed somehow...
