Package: mailman Version: 2.1.5-8 Severity: normal On a sarge system, users cannot cancel their subscriptions due to this traceback:
admin(16322): [----- Traceback ------] admin(16322): Traceback (most recent call last): admin(16322): File "/var/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 110, in run_main admin(16322): main() admin(16322): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py", line 114, in main admin(16322): subscription_cancel(mlist, doc, cookie) admin(16322): File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/confirm.py", line 312, in subscription_cancel admin(16322): userdesc = mlist.pend_confirm(cookie)[1] admin(16322): File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Pending.py", line 141, in pend_confirm admin(16322): assert self.Locked() admin(16322): AssertionError This is caused by pend_confirm needing the list to be locked, but subscription_cancel doesn't actually lock the list. Copying the list locking stuff from subscription_confirm fixed this issue for me. BTW, is there any way to get these annoying, non-RC bugs fixed in sarge? It would be nice to be able to have fixes available and still be able to rely on security support. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mailman depends on: ii apache [httpd] 1.3.33-6sarge1 versatile, high-performance HTTP s ii cron 3.0pl1-86 management of regular background p ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4 4.50-8 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-heavy [mail- 4.50-8 exim MTA (v4) daemon with extended ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii logrotate 3.7-5 Log rotation utility ii pwgen 2.03-1 Automatic Password generation ii python 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii ucf 1.17 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: * mailman/queue_files_present: mailman/default_server_language: en mailman/gate_news: false * mailman/site_languages: en * mailman/used_languages: en * mailman/create_site_list: -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
