Re: Error message on upgrade

I upgraded our version of mailman from 2.0.x to the newest release of

mailman using the mailmanctl script. As soon as I did, I started
getting the following error from the qrunner:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/mailman/cron/qrunner", line 89, in ?
from Mailman.Handlers import HandlerAPI
File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 26, in ?

ImportError: No module named pythonlib.StringIO.

The latest official release is 2.1.12, not 2.1.12rc2. There was at
least one significant bug fix between rc2 and the final.

As far as the above error is concerned, qrunners are no longer run by
cron in mailman 2.1.x. cron is running /var/mailman/cron/qrunner which
is from 2.0 and clearly won't work. You need to update Mailman's
crontab to run the 2.1 cron jobs only.

Actually, your 2.1.12rc1 Mailman is probably working fine. It's just
that
/var/mailman/cron/qrunner should be removed and the entry that runs it
removed from Mailman's crontab.

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I ran mailmanctl and was still getting the same
error. I'll try recompiling again with 2.1.12. Does the cron
directory not get replaced when running make install?
