Can you tell me where to find the unprocessed version of pkg-install?
What is in work/ has already been processed by sed, and I didn't see
anything obvious in files/
I know I should read the porters' handbook, but at this point I'm just
poking around to try to get some sense of how the pieces come together.

I'm beginning to think that the fix will be as simple as

No, that's *absolutely* the wrong fix. The group required for mailman to
work depends on the mail server you are using. Sendmail, postfix, qmail,
etc. all require different groups. So using a fixed group might work for
you, but it would break it for a lot of other people's setups.
