Not just Ubuntu. I believe pretty much every system that Mailman runs on runs into these issues every once in a while. It's important to run bin/check_perms every time you upgrade, and check the output carefully (IIRC setup.py runs it automatically, so the important part is checking the output). If it's not 100% clean, then run "bin/check_perms -f". Sometimes multiple runs are necessary. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
