Yes, I am aware of your beliefs, and they're probably founded, but to be
able to dig in I need some context.

If you did not fix manually the issue, could you add "set -x" at the

dpkg --configure mailman3-web and give me the output?

If some passwords fall in the output, of course feel free to censor
