[Mailman-Users] Problem with arch after upgrade

[Jon Harris]

Hi List

I have just got round to upgrading from 2.1.6 to 2.1.7 and the upgrade
went well.

I just thought I had better run ./arch to tidy up the archives which
gave me a series of errors.


I got a whole series of these, which looks good:

----------------------
Updating index files for archive [Week-of-Mon-20060130]
  Date
  Subject
  Author
  Thread
Computing threaded index
Updating HTML for article 1174
Updating HTML for article 1175
Updating HTML for article 1176
Updating HTML for article 1177
Updating HTML for article 1178
Updating HTML for article 1179
--------------------------

Then this happened:

------------------------
Pickling archive state into
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/cafcnews/pipermail.pck
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./arch", line 200, in ?
    main()
  File "./arch", line 188, in main
    archiver.processUnixMailbox(fp, start, end)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 585, in
processUnixMailbox
    self.add_article(a)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 626, in
add_article
    filename))
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 1116, in
write_article
    f.write(article.as_text())
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 579, in
as_text
    '\g<1>' + _(' at ') + '\g<2>', body)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/sre.py", line 143, in sub
    return _compile(pattern, 0).sub(repl, string, count)
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in range(128)

--------------------------

Which doesn't look good :-( Should I be worried? 

Does anyone know what this means?

TIA
