[Mailman-Users] Everything stopped after upgrade

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Greetings:

I was on something of a maintenance tear this week, so when I got
Barry's announcement of 2.0.12 I decided it was time to catch up. I've
been running Mailman since 2.0.1, and had been running 2.0.8 from the
week it was released until this morning. I fetched the four patch files,
all of them patched without error. the reconfig and make install both
ran without any indication of problem.

So what could I have been missing? Not a single message has been sent
out by the server since the upgrade, as far as I can tell. My largest
list, with 450 members, had seven messages due for digesting this noon,
and the digest log indicates that they were properly handled. I don't
think it was shipped.

Every one minute I am now getting the following in
/home/mailman/logs/error:
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355): Traceback (innermost last):
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):   File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner",
line 283, in ?
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):      kids = main(lock)
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):   File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner",
line 253, in main
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):      keepqueued =
dispose_message(mlist, msg, msgdata)
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):   File "/home/mailman/cron/qrunner",
line 157, in dispose_message
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):      mlist.ParseMailCommands(msg)
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):   File
"/home/mailman/Mailman/MailCommandHandler.py", line 123, in
ParseMailCommands
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355):      precedence =
msg.get('precedence', '').lower()
Jul 12 23:41:21 2002 qrunner(1355): AttributeError :  'string' object
has no attribute 'lower'

Interestingly, this started at 08:52 in the morning, a time that I
guarantee does not coincide with the upgrade, which would have been
closer to noon. My error log is now 750KB in size, I doubt if more than
10KB of that is from before today. The first entry is from Jan 15 2001,
and it only takes a couple of screens to get down to this morning.

I have 17 lists running, all happily for a year and a half. Any
suggestions?

Van
