 |
|
I don't know for how long as I only noticed the problem today, but one of my updated broke mailman. When I try to start it the following message is reported:
| Quote: | * Starting mailman ... [ !! ]
* ERROR: mailman failed to start
|
I investigated and found a problem with the mailmanctl script
| Quote: | su - mailman
bin/mailmanctl -s start
File "bin/mailmanctl", line 149
except (IOError, ValueError), e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax |
it seems to have a problem with the comma. I tried various permutation of this line with and without comma, but none worked.
Any suggestion on what could be the problem ? I also tried re-installed to no avail. I am using version : 2.1.14 on x86-32 |

I am still having this issue with it not starting correctly. When I run this as root I still get an error in the mailmanctl script.
| Quote: | su - mailman -c 'bin/mailmanctl'
File "bin/mailmanctl", line 149
except (IOError, ValueError), e:
|
Any suggestions ? |

Sounds like it's expecting python 2 and you're using python 3 (or the other way round).
What's the output of this command?
| Code: | | eselect python list |

Here you go:
| Quote: | bumblebee ~ # eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.6
[2] python3.1 *

Lots of things won't work with python 3 yet so you want to run these commands:
| Code: | eselect python set python2.6
python-updater |

I'm pretty sure an updated ebuild could eliminate the necessity for that, so I filed a bug on it.
