Description Eric Smith 2007-10-15 19:02:18 UTC
Description of problem:

withlist, a tool provided by mailman for list maintenance, crashes with the
error "NameError: global name 'C_' is not defined"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
    mailman-2.1.9-5  (Fedora 7)
    mailman-2.1.9-7  (Rawhide)

How reproducible:

  100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in as user 'mailman'  (su to root, then "su - mailman --shell /bin/bash")
2. run bin/withlist

Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/withlist", line 297, in <module>
    main()
  File "bin/withlist", line 236, in main
    warning = C_('No list name supplied.')
NameError: global name 'C_' is not defined

Expected results:

With no arguments, withlist normally gives a help message

Additional info:

Apparently the Fedora mailman package patches a lot of instances of _( to C_(. 
It appears that this hasn't been tested in withlist.

Comment 1 Eric Smith 2007-10-15 19:04:52 UTC
I have a mailing list that is broken, and I desperately need to run fix_url.py
on it (using withlist), but currently cannot do so.  I tried to manually fix the
list by editing its configuration (using config_list to export it, edit, and
reimport), but that was not sufficient.

Patch for F-7

I'll test this patch and commit to F-7 and devel.  The error seems to be in
Mailman for quite a long time.	Thanks for reporting.
