Hi Barry,

I assume the install is broken, but I'm trying to find out what exactly is
broken.

The installation had been working perfectly.

I can't really remember exactly what happened.  I can't remember if I had a
drive error, rebooted and then cron started reporting the Mailman error, or
if it all stared with the Mailman error.

Regardless, I'm trying to understand what exactly is broken.  I've run make
install again, hoping to replace any files that might have been removed
when I ran e2fsck.

So what should I look for?

I could just reinstall from scratch, but I'd like to be able to understand
the problem in case it ever pops up again.


Thanks,
