[Mailman-Users] Mailman 2.1.5 bad pickle - something awry here...

[Adam Steer]

Hi folks - help required with a Mailman issue. If I look at either of
the listinfo or admin 'list of lists'
[http://mailman.site/mailman/listinfo/ or /admin/] I get a 'we've hit a
bug response'

Here's the traceback

---
traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/mailman//scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 69, in main

And a  bit more info:

In the last ten minutes I've had /Cgi/private.py open, adding in the
code from:

http://lists.netsys.com/pipermail/full-disclosure/2005-February/031562.html

However, reverting to the original private.py doesn't change things. So
- I suspect that whatever is broken was broken before ten minutes ago,
but i could be wrong.

Any clues would be very helpful!

Thanks

Adam
