[Mailman-Users] "IOError reading list extension" Message

[Barry Finkel]

I am running a home-built Mailman 2.1.9 Ubuntu package with the latest
security patch.  I see messages in the error log like this one:

     Apr 25 08:00:05 2008 (27326) IOError reading list extension:
       [Errno 20] Not a directory:
       '/var/lib/mailman/lists/append_description.newdescription/extend.py'

I do not see any

     extend.py

in the directory in which I build Mailman.  I see an archived posting

     http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg37089.html

that has a similar complaint from 16 Feb 2006, but the response from
Mark Sapiro to that posting does not seem to fit my situation.
