Hi,
I am on Debian 2.6.8. I used apt-get to update Python to 2-4 and
the latest version of mailman. I used one archive in sources.list;
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
When I attempt to start it I get this message:
#
# /etc/init.d/mailman start
* Site list for mailman (usually named mailman) missing.
* Please create it; until then, mailman will refuse to start.
Searching around the web I found I needed to create a list mailman
(though I have not figured out why it was not seeing my existing lists,
that is for later) I got this;
# newlist mailman
Memory fault
I thought the problem might be with the debian mailmail I went to
sourceforge and downloaded and installed 2.1.11 and nothing changed. I
though the problem might be with Python, I downlaoded and installed
Python 2.6 and there were changes in that when I tried to install
mailman I got this:
Compiling /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py ...
Compiling /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ...
bin/update:37: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use
hashlib instead
import md5
/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py:32: DeprecationWarning: the sha module
is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
import sha
Traceback (most recent call last):

import mailbox
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/mailbox.py", line 19, in <module>
import email.message
ImportError: No module named message
make: *** [update] Error 1
I copied over the 2.4 mailbox.py file to 2.6 and then I could compile
everything with the sha and md5 warnings, which are supposedly no big
deal, and I got one tiny change:
/usr/sbin/newlist:96: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated;
use the hashlib module instead
import sha
Memory fault
What should I do next? Help!
