I can't help you with Ubuntu/Debian packaging issues per se. You should really contact Ubuntu/Debian and see if they have a fix/workaround/bug report for this issue, and if not, report it there. A normal Mailman installation from source contains a pythonlib/ directory (note pythonlib, not pytonlib). This in turn contains the email package and possibly japanese and korean codecs packages. If your package contains none of this, you can try the following: In your Mailman installation, there are bin/ and cron/ directories. In each of these there is a file paths.py. The two paths.py files should be the same. Further, each file should contain near the beginning a line prefix = '/path/to/mailman' It should also contain near the middle sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(prefix, 'pythonlib')) If it contains this line, that's good. If not, add it to both files following the line sys.path.insert(0, prefix) Then if there is no pythonlib directory in the 'prefix' directory, create it with group = Mailman's group and mode 2775. Then create the directory pythonlib/email, also with group = Mailman's group and mode 2775. Then (assuming Mailman 2.1.9) go to <http://mailman.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mailman/tags/Release_2_1_9/misc/email-2.5.8.tar.gz?view=log> and click "Links to HEAD:(download)" to download the package. If your Mailman isn't 2.1.9, navigate to 'tags' in the above URL, find your release and get its email package. Then gunzip and extract the package and copy all the *.py files from the email-2.5.8/email directory you extracted to the pythonlib/email directory you created above. Finally, restart mailman with bin/mailmanctl restart -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
