Python 2.5.1 should be file for Mailman 2.1.11 or 2.1.12. There is
nothing about the statement
----------------------------------------------------
try:
    import paths
except ImportError:
    print '''Could not import paths!

This probably means that you are trying to run check_perms from the
source
directory.  You must run this from the installation directory instead.
'''
    raise
-----------------------------------------------------

That should throw a syntax error with any Python 2.x version. Is
bin/check_perms garbled somehow. Have you tried diffing it with your
existing server version?
