[Mailman-Users] check_perms failing: No such file or directory: '/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/maillist'

[admin2]

Hi there,

I am not clear why check_perms are failing.  The error claims 
'/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/maillist' directory does not exist. 
but an 'ls' reveals it does.



/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/maillist bad group (has: mailman, 
expected list) (fixing)
