Package: mailman Version: 2.1.5-8 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, Prior to the woody->sarge upgrade, a mailing list aliasfile entry looked like: foundation: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post foundation" foundation-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner foundation" foundation-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd foundation" foundation-owner: foundation-admin Now it has to look like: foundation: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman post foundation" foundation-admin: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman admin foundation" foundation-bounces: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman bounces foundation" foundation-confirm: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman confirm foundation" foundation-join: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman join foundation" foundation-leave: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman leave foundation" foundation-owner: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman owner foundation" foundation-request: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman request foundation" foundation-subscribe: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman subscribe foundation" foundation-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman unsubscribe foundation" The upgrade doesn't warn you that your mailing lists will stop working properly, not does it attempt to edit your /etc/aliases file to make them start working. The latter would be ideal, the former is clearly essential - an upgrade shouldn't break the entire package wihout warning!
