Package: mailman Version: 2.1.9-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
After followign the instructions, I got a traceback when creating a list via the web interface which came down to admin(510): RuntimeError: command failed: chgrp Debian-exim /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman (status: 1, Operation not permitted)admin The problem was the webserver user, www-data, doesn't have permissions to do that chgrp. I'd like to suggest something like the following. I'm not sure if it has secuirty impliciations; I'd like suggestions for any other work-arounds.
