>Please don't use sudo.
Figure out what is the permission that you need and use only those.
Sudo will get the `mailman start` to work and change a lot of other
things that will break your installation.
Abhilash is right! do not do that and assume the software is okay.
First of all, I guess you are contributing here as a developer. Then you should
do the work in a separate environment as individual machines can cause specific
issues which may not be issues at all of the software.
Read the Contributing Guide for this.
Also for your current problem, I installed mailman from apt and looked at the
files.
The issue is with this line actually
with open(filename, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as user_config:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg'
doing ls -lah in /etc/mailman3 gave me this output
-rw-r----- 1 root list 11K Mar 29 22:50 mailman.cfg
I added +x bit to all (This is a temporary sol)
It worked but now gave me a new error
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman3/locks/mailman-cfg.lck|aaryan-Inspiron-5577|11022|4859493668370032506'
Again doing ls -lah in /var/lib/mailman3/locks gave me this output
dr-xr-xr-x 2 list list 4.0K Mar 29 22:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 list list 4.0K Mar 29 22:50 ..
-rw-rw---- 2 list list 80 Mar 31 2019 master.lck
-rw-rw---- 2 list list 80 Mar 31 2019
'master.lck|aaryan-Inspiron-5577|9998|1555612377512779593'
There is again a problem with owners and file permissions here. I can also fix
this temporarily (Changed the group id)
Now there is this Attribute Error I do not understand why :

if self._stream:
AttributeError: 'ReopenableFileHandler' object has no attribute '_stream'
Judging by the scenario I think we need to fix the ownership and permissions
first or am I missing something here?
