I would be interested in knowing what's wrong and how it happened. Unfortunately, this issue probably prevents even running withlist on this list. I.e., Mailman's 'bin/withlist LISTNAME' will probably throw the same error.
It does. I did try compiling the original configuration file I used to create the list and there were no syntax errors. But then I would expect a config file with syntax errors not to be accepted when creating a new list.
To "fix" the problem just move the lists/LISTNAME directory containing the config.pck and perhaps a few other files out of the lists/ directory.
That worked and was my first instinct, but I didn't know if that
might cause other issues -- having a list directory that Mailman
was 'expecting' to suddenly be gone. In any case, moving the
list's own subdirectory out of ~mailman/lists directory got the
list_lists command line and mailman/listinfo web page working
again.
So the good news is that it was definitely this new list that threw a spanner into the machinery, and not some other mysterious event.
Thanks for the fix. The files you requested are on the way.
