There are no config.db files in /var/lib/mailman, they are only mentioned in the log.
The above seems to indicate that there is a /var/lib/mailman/lists/.keep/config.pck, but it can't be unpickled for some reason. Is that the case?
Veritably so. It is an empty file (0 bytes).
Given the above, I am amazed that the .keep list works at all, or is it some other list?
I never created a list called .keep, and indeed the problems are with a different list called 'camp', which is not mentioned anywhere in the error log.
I was assuming the .keep folder had something to do with mailman internals. After reading your message, I infer that is not the case, and now suspect it is perhaps a remnant from running fsck on the filesystem.
Interestingly, none of my actual lists seem to be missing their config.pck file.
Gotta love filesystem corruption. (New backup plan is now in place ... )
If it is some other list, I suggest you move the /var/lib/mailman/lists/.keep/ directory somewhere else (out of the /var/lib/mailman/lists/ directory) ...
Seems reasonable, I'll give it a shot.
That in itself may be sufficient to fix the digests problem with other lists (because cron/senddigests is dying on the .keep list and doesn't get to the others).
That could certainly explain the digests problem, anyway.
