Hello,
> Have you also tried "bin/update --force" ? I have now... It produced quite a bit of output, such as e.g.: "Updating mailing list: LISTNAME Updating the held requests database. // every list - updating old private mbox file - updating old public mbox file Fixing language templates: LISTNAME // every list [...] updating old qfiles" Especially the list where I have lost subscribers (most of them at least) gave me "Your installation seems up-to-date, great!" regarding the mbox-file. Not important (the archive), but interesting. However, it didn't help at all. Again, it stripped the backup-file (that I had renamed to config.pck before executing the above command) from 533 KB to 83 KB - and still the old (no good) subscriber list. Something that really disturbs me, is the fact that when I rename the old file, my list settings show a status that is totally outdated - I can tell right away by the fact that the URL is incorrect (it had been changed to a sub-domain since with no redirect). I'm at a point where I am almost certain that something went wrong with/during the backup. The only thing I don't understand is why the backup-file (even though it contains some old settings) has a significantly bigger size than the one created now when I start the qrunner (or doing /bin/update). But maybe one of my assumptions is incorrect: I thought till now that the fact that it has a bigger size is connected with the fact that the subscriber list is much bigger than in/with the smaller, new config.pck. But maybe that doesn't have anything to do with it? Yet I have lists with 15 subscribers and there my config.pck has like 4 KB. So it should be connected? > Another useful script in the bin directory may be dumpdb. > It will dump all the data in your backup file if the format is not > corrupted. Doing "perl dumpdb /var/lib/mailman/lists/LISTNAME/config.pck" prints the following error: "Traceback (most recent[...]): File "dumpdb", line 134, in ? msg = main() File "dumpdb", line 126, in main m = pickle.load(open(filename)) EOFError" Now this doesn't really help me. Except that something is definitely wrong. :-) Thank you very much for your efforts, I really appreciate it!
