Hi all, please reply to me directly as well, as i am not subscribed to this list.
I am trying to do an upgrade on debian from mailman 2.1.5 to mailman
2.1.9 and get the following error:
--- snip ---
Updating mailing list: <some_list>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/withlist", line 297, in ?
main()
File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/withlist", line 272, in main
r = [do_list(listname, args, func) for listname in Utils.list_names()]
File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/withlist", line 194, in do_list
m = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=LOCK)
File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 130, in __init__
self.Load()

msg = Message.OutgoingMessage(text)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'OutgoingMessage'
--- snip ---
I had a look at the source code as distributed by debian and in the
tarball from sourceforge. It seems like a bug to me that:
--- snip --- from versions.py (line 466 - 492)
NewRequestsDatabase(l):
"""With version 1.2, we use a new pending request database schema."""
r = getattr(l, 'requests', {})
if not r:
# no old-style requests
return
for k, v in r.items():
[ yadda yadda yadda ]
for p in v:
author, text = p[2]
reason = p[3]
msg = Message.OutgoingMessage(text)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
l.HoldMessage(msg, reason)
del r[k]
elif k == 'add_member':
--- snip ---
This code tries to build an object of type OutgoingMessage which is assumed
to be declared in Mailman.Message but is not. There is no single class
OutgoingMessage in the Message module.
What is wrong here? What can i do about it? Why am i the first to
encounter this problem???
Thanks in advance...
