Package: mailman Version: 2.1.5-8 Severity: important When upgrading mailman from woody, a spurious copy of /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cookie.pyc is kept, and gets imported instead of the standard library file. This causes an ImportError when importing Cookie, and mailman won't start until the pyc file is deleted.
I'm doing a cut&paste of an instance of the same problem from a different machine (see http://tinyurl.com/chdgz) - I experienced the same errors. Configuro mailman (2.1.5-8) ...
