[Mailman-Users] admin queue problem....

[Peter Murray]

I didn't find any discussion of a problem like this, but let me know if
this has already been discussed...

I have a strange problem occuring here, with mailman 2.0 beta 5 under
linux 2.2.12, python 1.5.2.

I can look at all aspects of the database for this fully moderated list,
but if I look at the pending administrative requests, I get the traceback
below. $mailman/bin/check_db says both db and db.last are fine, and a
dumpdb shows what appears to be a perfectly okay list database. It also
appears that inbound messages for this list are also triggering this
traceback message.

Any ideas? All suggestions would be appreciated!
