Just to say that I support your bug report as I ran in the exact same problem after I installed mailman on etch. In reply to (Subject: Re: Bug#408855 from Lionel Elie Mamane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>): > Debian policy says that "In general, symbolic links within a > top-level directory should be relative". We can deviate from that > if there is a good reason for it (that's why it says "in general"). I wanted to symlink /var/lib/mailman to /u/mailman (as /u is a larger partition), and noticed the /var/lock/mailman & /var/log/mailman where using relative symlinks, I had to recreate absolute symlinks for logs and locks in order to for mailman to run.
