Good shot, but the latest mailman in woody (2.0.11-1woody2) depends on
python and python depends on python2.1 (= 2.1.3-1), so I think there is
something weird here.
I'm bringing this discussion on debian-python. Please drop debian-devel
on followups.
Two things to check;
1) does the mailman script start with #!/usr/bin/python or #!/usr/bin/env
python
2) does the user reporting the problem have a rogue copy of python 1.x
installed from source somewhere?
The current Debian Python policy does allow packaged scripts to begin with
#!/usr/bin/env python, but it is discoraged because it can cause problems
like this when people have non-packaged pythons installed in /usr/local (or
anywhere on the path).
If mailman does use #!/usr/bin/env python I would argue that this is a low
priority bug.
