Lockfile.__write is a nearly trivial function; I doubt this is a bug,
rather a configuration issue or an environment it's not designed to
work in.

It appears this process is running as www-data.  Does
/var/lib/mailman/locks exist?  Is it a directory?  Is it readable and
writable as a directory by www-data or www-data's group?  Is it on a
local disk, or some kind of network file system?

This is not provided by Mailman, I suspect, unless it's a link to a
Mailman script.  What does it do?  Is it just a call to
/var/lib/mailman/scripts/driver?

[Mailman-Users] bug

[Dave Stevens]

Bug in Mailman version 2.1.26

We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. 

I was trying to log in to the mailman pending admin tasks page to
delete an attempted post by a non-member. 

in /var/log/mailman/error is:


admin(22004): [- Traceback --]

I don't know what to do about this.
