Apt-get remove worked as well as find -name... I was able to remove everything associated with mailman and use apt-get install mailman, which on this occasion, worked like a charm. I am currently experiencing a hiccup at, documentation 6.1.1 (http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node13.html). I am not understanding the aliases/aliases.db instructions. I, seemingly, successfully ran /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases but now, cannot seem to find any data/aliases file or directory. Any ideas?
