https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448530 Summary: Mailman @opensuse 11.1 doesn't send mail Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: diego.ercolani@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Community User mailman-2.1.11-7.5 python-base-2.6.0-2.8 To dispatch mail to the mailinglist, Mailman uses a python library that is called: email under opensuse 11.1 it is installed in /usr/lib/python2.6/email using the system wide library, during sending process mailman fails and put the mail in the shunt directory (/var/lib/mailman/qfiles/shunt/). In mailman's log (/var/lib/mailman/logs/error) you can find this line: AttributeError: Message instance has no attribute 'get_type' If you make a little search in internet you'll find some mailing list archive: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-March/060822.html Developers suggest to use the email-package included in mailman source (mailman-2.1.11/misc/email-2.5.8.tar.gz) and put it in /usr/lib/mailman/pythonlib/ This is what I did but work isn't finished as also names of the email package packaged with mailman and the email-2.5.8 aren't compatible.

/usr/lib/python2.6/email/utils.pyc /usr/lib/python2.6/email/utils.pyo My workaround was to make a link to filenames of the email-2.5.8 package of the same names but in lo-case. Obviously this is a dirty workaround... but it just works ;-) So, I thing developer shou choose between two road: 1. patch mailman to enable using of python-2.6 email package 2. include in mailman distribution the email-2.5.8 package patched to enable the correct case in filenames.
