[Mailman-Developers] Upgrading from 2.0.10 to 2.1.b2

[David Gibbs]

Folks:

I'm trying to give MM 2.1b2 a few tests, but cannot get any of my existing
mailing lists converted (I'm just trying to convert some test and internal
lists).

Whenever I copy the list files over from the 2.0.10 install directory, and
run bin/update -f, I get the following results ...

[root@linux mailman]# bin/update -f
Upgrading from version 0x20100b2 to 0x20100b2

Traceback (most recent call last):

    mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=0)

    for name, pattern, desc, emptyflag in self.topics:
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 128, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError, name

Any ideas?

Thanks!
