[Mailman-Developers] no such file config.pck updating to 2.1b1

[Georg Koch]

Hi,

I am trying to update from 2.1a2 to 2.1b1 (on a SUN Sparc Solaris7
machine), unfortunately with some hundreds of users waiting.
When I updated python from 1.5.2 to 2.2.1c1, mailman 2.1a2 broke
immediately with "ImportError: No module named mimelib.Parser". The
installation of 2.1b1 abended in the Makefile of the bin subdirectory with
a syntax error on 
      for f in $(NONSCRIPTS); \
      do \
          $(INSTALL) -m $(FILEMODE) $$f $(SCRIPTSDIR); \
      done; \
      fi 
because "NONSCRIPTS= ". After I commented these lines out the
installation continued but stopped in bin/update with the line

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/h/mailman/lists/test/config.pck'

because the configuration is stored as config.db.

How do I convert the config.db to config.pck ?

Best wishes
	Georg
