Follow-up Comment #4, bug #13853 (project mhonarc): I stumbled on the same problem with the symlink error msg, when I installed V 2.6.15. I keep archives in yearly directories and there is a symlink current -> 2005. The archiver, invoked from mailman, is
PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = "/usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir /www/mailman/archives/private/%(listname)s/current >> /tmp/mhonarc-mc.log" in this way, at midnight, new year's day, all I have to do is switch the symlink around, no messing with mailman configs or editing an alias file. As I understand, this alone would be OK, but by default the outdir is also the attachmentdir, and this is where mhonarc trips over the symlink (BTW: while it might be ok to print the error and exit, I don't think is ok to try to delete the symlink). I did not see this problem with existing archives, which I did not recreate after switching to 2.6.15, but with any archives that I redid after the update. One might try to define a relative AttachmentDir to solve the problem. <AttachmentDir> attachments </AttachmentDir> but this does not work, as was noted in the mhonarc-user mailing list (http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/2005-01/msg00004.html). with the mhonarc invoked as above, the attachments directory is created in the processes' working directory, which is mailman's home directory, /www/mailman. It is not created in the outdir and any existing one there is not used.
