[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#1010273: mailman3-web: There seems to be a clas between mailman3-web and python3-django-hyperkitty about the /static/ dir

[Peter Gervai]

Package: mailman3-web
Version: 0+20200530-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This was a fresh install, and hyperkitty archive was forever spinning.
Apache was configured according to the official docs. So I have upgraded
from stable to testing (to fix one bug I thought to be related).

It tuned out that there are two separate sets of web-static directories:
- /var/lib/mailman3/web/static (the "wrong" one)
- /usr/share/python3-django-hyperkitty/static/ 

Same goes with posterius and others. The problem is that they _look_ like 
they are okay but have different content, in fact one had 1.xx jquery
while the other had the new 3.6 one, and it caused all kinds of weird
failures on the web interface.

I believe there ought to be only one set of these, and the other,
for whatever purposes it's requird shall be symlinked over.

User error is possible! But I haven't really done anything out of the 
ordinary.
