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): File "bin/update", line 51, in <module> from Mailman import MailList File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 51, in <module> from Mailman.Archiver import Archiver File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> from Archiver import * File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver/Archiver.py", line 32, in <module> from Mailman import Mailbox File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 21, in <module> 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?
