Follow-up Comment #4, bug #13853 (project mhonarc):
I stumbled on the same problem with the symlink error msg, when
I installed V 2.6.15.
I keep archives in yearly directories and there is a symlink
current -> 2005.
The archiver, invoked from mailman, is
PRIVATE_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = "/usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add -outdir
/www/mailman/archives/private/%(listname)s/current >> /tmp/mhonarc-mc.log"
in this way, at midnight, new year's day, all I have to do is switch the
symlink around, no messing with mailman configs or editing an alias file. As
I understand, this alone would be OK, but by default the outdir is also the
attachmentdir, and this is where mhonarc trips over the symlink (BTW: while
it might be ok to print the error and exit, I don't think is ok to try to
delete the symlink). I did not see this problem with existing archives, which
I did not recreate after switching to 2.6.15, but with any archives that I
redid after the update.
One might try to define a relative AttachmentDir to solve the problem.
<AttachmentDir>
attachments
</AttachmentDir>
but this does not work, as was noted in the mhonarc-user mailing list
(http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/2005-01/msg00004.html).
with the mhonarc invoked as above, the attachments directory is created in
the processes' working directory, which is mailman's home directory,
/www/mailman. It is not created in the outdir and any existing one there is
not used.
