Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5.2-15 Severity: normal The problem manifests itself with mailman, the problem is in python. Fast test: p...@elbrus ~ $ python -c 'print "a"' | head -n0 close failed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
Complete problem: When I start mailman with "/etc/init.d/mailman start" I get: r...@elbrus ~ $ /etc/init.d/mailman start close failed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe Starting Mailman master qrunner: mailmanctl. I have located the problem in the line 51: if ! /var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists -b | grep -q "^${SITE_LIST}$"; then My site has 506 lists and apparently to many names are coming behind the "mailman" list. It looks like python does not check if the fd is closed.
