 * What led up to the situation?

Upgrade from a clean install of Debian Squeeze 6.0 to Wheezy 7.2 with
Mailman installed and working and Turkish and English languages
available for mailman

The install failed with a Python stack dump and a report that
/var/lib/mailman/lock did not exist. This was a symbolic link to
/var/lock/mailman.

I created the /var/lock/mailman directory and reran the install of
mailman. The stack dump error went away. There was another error that I
have reported separately

>>    * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the install to run smoothly during a standard upgrade.
