Developers of Sympa

[Thomas Berry <address@concealed>]

After upgrading from 5.4 to 6.0.1 over the weekend, I'm occasionally
seeing lists get set into set_status_error_config (if I don't catch them 
fast enough).  This seems similar to our experience with 5.3 a few years 
back.

Anyway...

I coordinated some SQL queries while monitoring this issue and I found 
that when it occurs there are no admin_table entries for the list. 
After I run reload_list_config, the entries are restored.  The source of 
the information is ldap, even so; when I look at the text config for the 
list (before running reload_list_config), the owners entries are found 
as expected.

Here is a complete log transaction that show's the what sympa is doing 
at the time:
