I can confirm that email is not installed properly. My debian/testing
installation (apt-get upgrade) failed with
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists", line 47, in ?
from Mailman import MailList
File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 39, in ?
import email.Iterators
ImportError: No module named email.Iterators
I thought this was because I've been messing around with mailman
locally, but it seems not.
I filed a Debian bug about the installation problem, though I haven't
got a confirmation back.
