I'm now getting lock failures upon approving messages held for moderation:

Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/lib/mailman/scripts/driver", line 112, in run_main main() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 112, in main HandleRequests(doc) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py", line 200, in HandleRequests list.HandleRequest(request, v, form[comment_key].value) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 122, in HandleRequest self.HandlePostRequest(request_data[2:], value, comment) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/ListAdmin.py", line 131, in HandlePostRequest self.Post(msg, 1) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1329, in Post self.ArchiveMail(msg) File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 206, in ArchiveMail lock.lock() File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 245, in lock os.unlink(self.__tmpfname) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/mailman/locks/mud-dev.archiver.lock.bush.16685'

check_perms reports clean, Apache (v1.1-4) runs as user www-data.www-data (Debain defaults), but the Mailman user is list.list.

$ pwd /var/lib/mailman/locks $ ls -lasp total 36 4 drwxrwsr-x 2 root list 4096 Mar 16 14:35 ./ 4 drwxrwsr-x 6 root list 4096 Mar 12 21:46 ../ 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root list 69 Mar 16 09:48 <site>.lock 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 74 Mar 16 14:12 mmqueue_run.lock 4 -rw-rw-r-- 2 www-data list 79 Mar 16 14:31 mud-dev.archiver.lock 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data list 79 Mar 16 14:31 mud-dev.archiver.lock.bush.24449 4 -rw-rw-r-- 2 www-data list 79 Mar 16 14:31 mud-dev.archiver.lock.bush.24499 4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 list list 70 Mar 16 14:35 mud-dev.lock

This looks fishy to me. Blowing away the contents of the directory doesn't fix the problem.
