[...]I am experiencing a strange problem with Mailman 2.1.[45] (it does not matter which version I try; I can't try 2.1.3 because it won't let me downgrade...), and I don't really know when it started. We had some problems with a server and had to reboot it. Since then, Mailman does not come up anymore:
File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 609, in Load
raise Errors.MMCorruptListDatabaseError, e
Mailman.Errors.MMCorruptListDatabaseError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/mailman/lists/adapt/config.db.last'
That means that it was not able to load either your config.pck or config.pck.last files, and it is trying to fall back to the config.db (or config.db.last) as last resorts. (In fact your Mailman logs/error log should be telling you about this file corruption.) Your easiest fix would be to replace the list configuration with a backup from before the server problems.
Site list for mailman (usually named mailman) missing Please create it; until then, mailman will refuse to start
This is a separate problem. You are missing the site list (which as the error message says, is normally called 'mailman' unless you have renamed it in your mm_cfg file).
One thing I did note is that if I look at /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py:609 where the exception is thrown, is that the 'else' on line 605 does not really have a corresponding 'if'. Or am I just getting thrown off by Python's weird indentation syntax?
Python loops can have else: clauses that are executed if the loop terminates normally (no break, return, or uncaught exceptions). Python's clear block structure makes that very easy to read. :-)
