This is somewhat puzzling. >> /usr/bin/sudo: /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases: command not found seems to indicate that there is a problem with /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases as John suggests, but >> RuntimeError: command failed: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases >> /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases (status: 1, Operation not permitted) seems to say that the commands in /usr/local/sbin/mailman.aliases, the first of which is presumably /bin/cp /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases /etc/mailman.aliases are being executed and it is this first command which fails, but since this is executed via sudo as root, why would it be 'not permitted'?
