This has been fixed by manual change to the database permissions. The code fixing this has already landed on edge and will be fixed proper in production for the 2.1.11 rollout.

as a member of Ubuntu Brazilian Portuguese Translators, sometimes I need to contact other people, and the Lauchpad solution is good for that, but needs more work on it

I still get this message on edge, Launchpad 2.1.10 (r7250). But since there is no error on staging ("Message sent"), Launchpad 2.1.11 (r7314), I have not reopened the bug. Of course, staging won't actually do anything either so that's not helpful. I am assuming it will be pushed to edge soon.
