Mailman is trying to save the current list configuration which it does
by the following steps:
1. Save the data to a unique temp name.
2. Remove (unlink) config.pck.last
3. Link the name config.pck.last to the file config.pck
4. Rename the temp name to config.pck
This is the "safe" way to essentially rename the old config.pck as
config.pck.last and save the new data as config.pck.
In steps 2. and 3. we ignore "non existant" errors, but raise all the
rest.
In your case, when we try to remove
'/usr/local/mailman/lists/aen/config.pck.last' at step 2, we are
getting the [Errno 22] Invalid argument: error from the OS.
What does
ls -l /usr/local/mailman/lists/aen/
show?
config.pck
config.pck.bak
config.pck.last
config.pck.safety
(plus backup copies of each of those which I made)
plus a whole bunch of
config.pck.temp.ns.greenbuilder.com.####
where #### is some number
plus
pending.pck
request.pck
I've tried putting in each of the three backup versions (.bak, .last,
.safety) in as config.pck with appropriate owner (as determined by
other working lists), no luck there.
Also tried a backup from several days ago.
Is it necessary to stop/start mailman and/or repair permissions or
anything else between each attempt?
