[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#891703: mailman3-suite: DB user isn't read from setting_local (mailman3-suite.py in /etc)

[Eric Côté]

Package: mailman3-suite
Version: 0+20170523-10
Severity: important

Hi,

The default user is being read from the packaged settings.py instead of the settings_local.py file symlinked to /etc/mailman3 .
I see error logs saying "mailmansuite" has no access, which is true since that's not what I configured. I had to hand edit
the /usr/share/mailman3-suite/settings.py by hand to have to work like I wanted (which isn't recommended, nor what I would like to do).

Is there some solution to this?

Thank you
Eric
