Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.13-4.1
Severity: minor
While installing the latest security update, mailman complained about
files in /var/lib/mailman/qfiles and suggested to use
/var/lib/mailman/bin/show_qfiles to examine these files.
However show_qfiles aborts with an error:
almighty-bob:/var/lib/mailman# ./bin/show_qfiles qfiles/shunt/*.pck
====================> qfiles/shunt/1292597978.7239151+566547a3f5309c27ed7a2106d9f549766cd32fba.pck
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./bin/show_qfiles", line 95, in <module>
main()
File "./bin/show_qfiles", line 88, in main
sys.stdout.write(msg.as_string())
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'as_string'
The message in question is not very old (17 Dec 2010), but I think it was still
created with Lenny's version of mailman (we upgraded the host on that day).
Regards,
Ansgar
