Excellent analysis Barry -- accurate and revealing. Short version of the results: The 2.1.2-2 Mailman package in /testing is broken in that it uses the floor operator, and yet the Python2.1 package shipped in /testing don't -- which means that the python2.1-email package in /testing fails to install properly due to you use of the floor // operator in _compat22.py. Solution: upgrade python2.1 to /unstable and make sure that the python2.1-email package is installed. Hopefully the Debian mailman maintainer will read this (I'll CC this to him later if he doesn't ack me here). > I hope to have time to spin 2.1.3 tomorrow. It would help me if we could squeeze the Return-Path fix in there. TMDA requires a Return-Path header and the work-arounds for the Mailman/TMDA integration are ungraceful. I won't have time today, and likely not tomorrow either alas. If you could delay a bit I can likely do it in the early days of this week. BTW I may finally be able to buy you some of those beers I owe you. I'm on a consulting gig in Groton CT these days (a long and dismal story).
