The problem is you are following our "install Mailman from source"
documentation, but you are installing a "packaged" Mailman which does
things differently. You should be either installing from source and
following our documentation or following the packager's documentation
for installing the package. If the packager's documentation is missing
or inadequate, that's not something we have any control over.
