I'm on a lot of different mailing lists, so after getting the answer to this question I selfishly disabled my mail delivery on the mailman list. However, I've been contacted by a couple of folks privately with the same problem. So, let me post the solution for anyone else who may be getting the same issue.
To reiterate, the problem presents itself when access to any of the mailman scripts (e.g. http://somewhere/mailman/listinfo) produces a "low level failure" with no traceback. What seems to be common here is the occurance on SUSE. In my search for a solution I found that this occurs with on auto-update on Suse - patch 10 for mailman 2.1.4 to be exact. See: http://www.novell.com/linux/download/updates/91_i386.html What's interesting is that this patch can be installed without a dependency: python-xml. So, if you are encoutering this problem, the likely problem is that you are missing a dependency, and the solution is drop-dead easy: Just install python-xml -don ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
