See the FAQ at > <http://wiki.list.org/x/KYCB>. That page relates to upgrading from 2.1.5-20 or earlier. I was upgrading from 2.1.9, so that does not apply (?). When I did an upgrade to 2.1.16 from an 'bare' install of 2.1.9 on my home system, there weren't any (major) problems. And a fresh install of 2.1.16 (on another machine) had no problems either. Ok, I did an explict stop of mailman, removed the old rpm (rpm -e) and then a fresh install of the new version, started mailman, and after some minor config tweaks, it seems to be working. > > There was an issue a while back, see > <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-November/047814.html>, > but this was due to a SuSE patch that referenced a Python xml library > that wasn't installed.
