Did you install the Ubuntu/Debian package? If so, then you have a mixture of versions. When I looked at 2.1.9, I reviewed all of the Debian patches. Most were undocumented, so I had no idea what they did. And I could not determine the base version number. IIRC, one patch seemed to be based on 2.1.4 code. Of three security patches, two matched the SourceForge source, and one did not. There is also a patch that erroneously deletes a library that is sometimes needed. It was at this time that I decided that I had no idea what source I was running, and I was not assured of getting assistance from this Mailman-users group. So I decided to build my own Ubuntu package from the SourceForge source. The only patch I kept was one that placed libraries in the "proper" directories for Ubuntu. Short answer - look at the changes file or the patch directory. My test Mailman virtual machine is down now for patching, so I cannot give you the exact directories and paths. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry S.
