Mark, First off, to clarify, yes we're using version 2.1.18-1.
Next, the "Version.py" issue has been resolved. I had forgotten to apply the "modinc" prerequisite patch. The only error that remains when applying the "mhonarc" patch is: Hulk #2 FAILED at 106. 1 out of 2 hulks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Mailman/Mailbox.py.rej *** Attached is a copy of "Mailbox.py.rej" *** Thanks in advance!
