Also try to reinstall mailman

Sounds like your file permissions or ownership might have been screwed up by a wildcard chmod or chown.

As a start check the permissions on /

ls -lad /

That should be something like:

drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Oct 25 21:54 //

Also, make sure that none of your partitions are out of space.

Hello.... I work with speckados...

I think it is allright... I will try to reinstall mailman.

[fenixer]

Already fails...

It is strange, since reinstalling mailman did the fix in 2 machines..... but I have the problem at 5 more, and reinstalling mailman does not fix the problem, only showing the same errors:

(reinstalling mailman with /scripts/reinstallmailman)

Sorry to raise an old thread, but I am also experiencing exactly the same problem. Did the OP acquire a resolution or can anyone else offer a solution?

I reinstalled exim, reinstalled mailman, still no luck.

What are the permissions on the directory you are executing the script from?

If this a VPS, run this command from the /scripts directory:
cd /scripts
./fixcommonproblems
See if that helps.
