[PLUG] administrivia: Recent mailman updates
|
Hi,
This past Sunday, Debian announced a security vulnerability [1] in
mailman, the mailing-list software currently utilized by the plug and
plug-announce lists. In response, yesterday afternoon I installed the
newly available package from security.debian.org, but unfortunately it
contained a python syntax error which resulted in mail sent to the list
being held unprocessed in the mailman queue. The problem was resolved
at approximately 3PM this afternoon by applying the patch documented in
Debian bug #232079 [2], and all messages that were stuck in the queue
now appear to have been posted successfully.
Special thanks to Jon Nelson <quincy@linuxnotes.net> for bringing the
problem to my attention.
Thanks,
-mct
