Check the archives of the list. I run Mailman 2.1.13 (soon to be 14) on Ubuntu Dapper (to be converted to the latest LTS release). I built my own Mailman package from the SourceForge source because most of the Debian/Ubuntu patches were undocumented as to what they did, and one removed a necessary library.
