That looks to be from the Debian Mailman package, which Ubuntu uses as
it's base. See the long trail here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=242740
The short summary for the bug is "bad installation when
/var/lib/mailman/pythonlib is a symlink."
(I've never found the Debian bugs page very easy to follow. :)
