Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
Prior to the woody->sarge upgrade, a mailing list aliasfile entry
looked like:
foundation: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post foundation"
foundation-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner foundation"
foundation-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd foundation"
foundation-owner: foundation-admin
Now it has to look like:
foundation: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman post foundation"
foundation-admin: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman admin foundation"
foundation-bounces: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman bounces foundation"
foundation-confirm: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman confirm foundation"
foundation-join: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman join foundation"
foundation-leave: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman leave foundation"
foundation-owner: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman owner foundation"
foundation-request: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman request foundation"
foundation-subscribe: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman subscribe foundation"
foundation-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/foundation/mail/mailman unsubscribe foundation"
The upgrade doesn't warn you that your mailing lists will stop working
properly, not does it attempt to edit your /etc/aliases file to make
them start working. The latter would be ideal, the former is clearly
essential - an upgrade shouldn't break the entire package wihout
warning!
Regards,
Matthew

^^^^^^^^^^
Certainly not. It has to be "mailman" there, we don't create a
directory in /var/lib for each list.
Besides, there is a symlink in /var/lib/mailman/mail from wrapper to
mailman, so the old alias file entries will just work, won't it? Or am
I completely confused?
