I am guessing from the rm archives/public/foo-list rm archives/public/foo-list.mbox above that you created the foo-list on 2.1 first. This is the problem. Creating foo-list creates $MM21/lists/foo-list/config.pck. Then the "mv" moves the old 2.0 lists/foo-list/config.db file. Then Mailman sees the new config.pck and never tries to import config.db. The solution is to remove the config.pck and config.pck.last leaving only the config.db and config.db.last. Then run fix_url and you should be OK as long as the Marshal format in config.db is compatible with the Python on the Gentoo box. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
