[Mailman-Users] 2.0.5 broken on RH70

[Joe Morris]

I was using MM2.0 and upgraded yesterday to prepare a new server.
Mailman 2.0 was running fine before.  Python is 1.5.2.  During
compilation, I got the following warnings repeatedly...

./cgi-wrapper.c:26:21: warning: nothing can be pasted after this token
./cgi-wrapper.c:31:24: warning: pasting would not give a valid
preprocessing token

I pressed on with the install and everything seemed to be OK (can create
lists, modify configurations, etc.).  I tried to join one of the new
mailing lists, got the confirmation back and tried to reply to confirm.  I
never saw email again, and my subscription is still pending.  So, I use
the admin interface to check pending admin requests--boom!--and it ain't
happy.

Here is the output from the errors log.  However, please note that I'm
setting this up in multiple instances, so you will see the path is not the
default.  This is because I will eventually have many Mailmans config
running, one for each state in the US.  The number of lists I have are
enormous that one Mailman instance cannot handle it due to performance
problems.  The following output is for a prefix of /home/mailman/root...
