Which means this also breaks _new_ installs as far as I understand it because if: - mailman gets unpacked _before_ - python2.4 gets configured _before_ - mailman gets configured That last bit _will_ tend to happen since dpkg tries to configure dependencies before the package itself. The first bit may or may not happen. That's also harder to fix from mailman's side, if possible at all. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
