Package: mailman3
Version: 3.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After installing PostgreSQL I started dpkg-reconfigure mailman3
At the end it stated:
*Service for mailman3 failed.
The mailman3 service didn't start correctly. This is probably because
you didn't configure the database appropriately.
The service won't work until you do so.
If you actually DID install the database appropriately, please report
As far as I could make out, the problem was caused by choosing a
password with special characters which resulted in an unusable
database url.
