Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] mailman stopped working after upgrade
Why did portage re-install the same version of mailman (r4) over and
over?
daevid init.d # genlop -l | grep mailman
Thu Nov 11 10:26:07 2004 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r2
Sun Nov 14 18:12:48 2004 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r2
Mon Jan 17 14:36:05 2005 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r3
Fri Feb 11 16:58:33 2005 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4
Sun Feb 13 17:57:01 2005 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4
Wed Sep 7 11:34:36 2005 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4
Mon Sep 12 15:48:09 2005 >>> net-mail/mailman-2.1.5-r4
So if I read this correctly, mailman-2.1.5-r4 has been installed and
re-installed several times. But around Sept 7th is when it stopped
working.
I have mail from the list on 9/5 for sure. I'm fairly certain that exim
is
not to blame here, as that hasn't changed in over two months.
Didn't you say in one of the original posts that you had tried to
re-install mailman? That would explain the sept 12 entry.
As far as the Feb 13th entry, would you remember if you had reinstalled on
the 13th, whether purposely or as a result of an --emptytree, or perhaps
resumed a previous build failure, or some sort of revdep-rebuild that
decided, on the 13th, that exim needed to be rebuilt?
Oops, that should have read 'mailman' above and not exim. That's what I get
for responding on the list after killing a bottle of Robert Mondavi Pinot
Noire... ;-)
The dates are somewhat conspicuous, in that they do not occur off hours
(as a result of some sort of automated emerge --update process via cron).
The would seem to indicate that you had manually done something to trigger
the re-install....
