[Mailman-Users] getting python errorss with check_perms
Hi, Running this as root so that it can fix any perm problems, but I'm getting what I assume to be python errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman]# bin/check_perms -f Traceback (most recent call last): File bin/check_perms, line 382, in module checkarchives() File bin/check_perms, line 216, in checkarchives print _(\ NameError: global name '_' is not defined I get the same errors without the '-f' argument. Any ideas?

Any ideas? You said in another thread that you're migrating to a Fedora Core system. Are you using the Fedora rpm packages of Mailman? This looks like a bug in one of the patches that is applied in the Fedora/Red Hat rpms. If you're using the rpms, what version of Fedora are you running, and what is the version and release of the mailman package?

Todd, I think the bug URL you gave me is a wrong URL. Bug 132495 is a Japanese encoding bug and its status is closed (which I presume means fixed). That doesn't sound like the problem I'm seeing. In answer to your questions, the Fedora release is Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) and the mailman package installed is mailman-2.1.9-5.1 (output of rpm -qa). I just no checked, and there is not a more current package to download via yum. -- Rob Todd Zullinger said the following on 02/05/2008 04:34 PM: Rob Tanner wrote: Running this as root so that it can fix any perm problems, but I'm getting what I assume to be python errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman]# bin/check_perms -f Traceback (most recent call last): File bin/check_perms, line 382, in module checkarchives() File bin/check_perms, line 216, in checkarchives print _(\ NameError: global name '_' is not defined I get the same errors without the '-f' argument.

That doesn't sound like the problem I'm seeing. Read further down in the comment thread. It talks about the _() i18n function being changed to C_(). However, lines 37 to 48 of our check_perms are try: import paths except ImportError: print '''Could not import paths!

That doesn't sound like the problem I'm seeing. The bug summary may not sound like what you're seeing, but the patch that was applied to correct the initial problem does redefine _() and can cause the sort of errors you're seeing. I know this because I ran into some places where the patch was incomplete and caused just such a problem for me. :) In answer to your questions, the Fedora release is Fedora release 7 (Moonshine) and the mailman package installed is mailman-2.1.9-5.1 (output of rpm -qa).

The bug is closed with the resolution rawhide, which means that the latest updated patch may not have been pushed to F7 (I haven't looked closely, though you can by looking at the Fedora CVS: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/mailman/) There does happen to be an update that is in the updates-testing repository, and the patch in question has been updated in that version (mailman-2.1.9-5.3.i386.rpm).

Then replace it with def _(x): return x and win (unless you really want to see the messages in a language other than the original, which is almost certainly Englishwink). -- 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
