| There's more to this than meets the eye. Yes, it's in the package,

Then you lose, basically.

| So, the fix is probably to make sure that the mailman subdirectories
| are there in the /etc/init.d/mailman script.
|
| mkdir -p /var/lock/mailman
| chown list:list /var/lock/mailman
|
| is probably all that's required (and an equivalent for anything in
| /var/run)
|
| Does that make sense?
Yes, but it's not something which you are guaranteed by policy or
anything else, so you will most likely see random breakages like
this.
I'll get this bug reopened (since it's archived) and made into a
wishlist bug so I can do it when I get around to it.
