Also try to reinstall mailman

Code:
Problems found: 77
Re-run as mailman (or root) with -f flag to fix

Go on, have a guess
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.

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:

Code:
(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?

ls -lad /
drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Oct 16 09:29 /

df -h

/dev/sda1 19G 6.4G 12G 36% /

/dev/sda2 15G 4.3G 9.3G 32% /usr
/dev/sda3 9.5G 1.2G 7.9G 13% /var


thanks in advance.

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