Hi Mark,

I did consider all those, but perhaps I am just missing the point.
I have rechecked after your suggestions, but those seem to point to the
correct paths:

HTDIG_CONF_LINK_DIR = os.path.join(VAR_PREFIX, 'archives', 'htdig')
VAR_PREFIX= '/usr/local/mailman'

/usr/local/mailman/archives/htdig/ has those links.


Today, I have received the following message from mailman:

From: Cron Daemon <mailman at wananchi.com>
To: mailman at wananchi.com
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 02:19:08 +0300
Subject: Cron <mailman at ns2> /usr/local/bin/python -S
        /usr/local/mailman/cron/nightly_htdig

/usr/bin/sort: mkstemp error: Permission denied
htmerge: Word sort failed

/usr/bin/sort: mkstemp error: Permission denied
htmerge: Word sort failed


Could this be a good pointer to my problem?
