Thank you Mark. It seems the magic conjuration must be invoked similarly to: $ sudo apt-get install python-old-doctools $ rm -f howto.cls $ mkdir /tmp/html $ /usr/lib/python2.5/doc/tools/mkhowto --all --dir /tmp/html mailman-admin.tex > /dev/null 2>&1 $ evince mailman-admin.pdf Good enough for government work.
