Startup issues after upgrade (2.1.4 - 2.1.5)
Hi.
I upgraded my installation of MM from 2.1.4 to 2.1.5. I followed the instructions/tips mentioned in the 'UPGRADING' file.
After I had upgraded, and attempted to start MM, I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 547, in ?
main()
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 340, in main
check_privs()
File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 287, in check_privs
gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: 'getgrnam(): name not found'Anyone have any tips to help my troubleshooting effort?
I am running MM on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 server with Python 2.3.3. MM was compiled against Python 2.3.3.
Thanks.

Redhat is b0rken.
If you had searched the archives of the mailing list, you would have quickly found <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-June/029911.html>.
If you had searched the Redhat buglists, you would have quickly found <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=88083> and <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/long_list.cgi?buglist=89695>, both of which reference <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-179.html>.
You can either apply the updated RPMs (which appear to be based on version 2.1.1), or you can install Mailman from the source code, according to the instructions provided.
