Thank you for looking into this, Mark.
I guess we can retain this bug to fix or remove check_perms, though this
should be verified and then forwarded to Debian.
** Summary changed:
- cannot install permissions correctly
+ check_perms is effectively broken or useless in mailman packaging
**

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I can see that running check_perms myself does warn of problems on a
freshly installed system.
Is there a specific problem that you're facing here, or is it just that
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms doesn't like the default
In the upstream Debian package, these entries in /var/lib/mailman are
actually symlinks as
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 17 2012 bin - /usr/lib/mailman/bin/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jul 17 2012 cgi-bin - /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jul 17 2012 cron -
I have looked at this a bit more deeply, and while all I said in comment
2 is correct, there is another issue. Essentially all the issues
reported by check_perms are innocuous and just reflect differences
between the Debian way and standard GNU Mailman, these fixes
