i'm using mailman 1.0 and the ~mailman/bin/arch program to convert my majordomo mbox format archives to mailman pipermail archives.
most of the majordomo archives were converted fine, but a small percentage fail to convert, with the following output from the arch python program:
figuring article archives 1999-June Processing article #2 into archives ['1999-June'] Updating index files for archive [1999-June] Date Subject Author Thread Computing threaded index Traceback (innermost last): File "/home/mailman/bin/arch", line 47, in ? archiver.close() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 906, in close self.update_dirty_archives()# Update all changed archives File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 871, in update_dirty_archives self.update_archive(i) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 330, in update_archive self.write_index_header() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py", line 738, in write_index_header self.updateThreadedIndex() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py", line 269, in updateThreadedIndex self.database.setThreadKey(self.archive, article.threadKey+'\000'+article.msgid, msgid) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperDatabase.py", line 256, in setThreadKey self.threadIndex[key]=msgid File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperDatabase.py", line 144, in __setitem__ self.current_index = self.sorted.index(current_item) ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list
i realize that this may not be enough information for anyone to diagnose the problem, but i'm hoping someone may already have encountered this problem and knows how to fix it or workaround it.
if you need more information, such as the majordomo archive files i'm trying to convert, let me know.
