[Mailman-Users] python errors executing scripts

[Mark Panahi]

Well I get this:

doc local/mailman# bin/update -f
Upgrading from version 0x20105f0 to 0x20105f0
getting rid of old source files
Updating mailing list: birn
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/update", line 780, in ?
    errors = main()
  File "bin/update", line 670, in main
    errors = errors + dolist(listname)
  File "bin/update", line 206, in dolist
    for addr, (reason, when) in mlist.delivery_status.items():
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 144, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: delivery_status

Seems like it needs to know that the old lists are from a previous
version. Any way I can indicate this?
