[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#618406: mailman: Listinfo premature end of script since update to squeeze

[Stephan Jennewein]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.13-5
Severity: important

Since the upgrade to Squeeze the webinterface doesn't work anymore. The webserver only shows premature end of script.

When I run listinfo in a console the mailman error log shows the following:

admin(14464): [----- Mailman Version: 2.1.13 -----]
admin(14464): [----- Traceback ------]
admin(14464): Traceback (most recent call last):

admin(14464): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lower'
