[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#1041496: mailman3-web: Upgrade from Debian 11 to 12 dpkg can't configure mailman3-full and -web

[Richard Rosner]

It would be very much appreciated if a solution could be found, or at least help provided to figure out the problem. Right now, both mailman3-full and mailman3-web can't be configured, so every time apt runs, it also tries to fix them. While mailman3 itself is working, mailman3-web is completely dead.

PS: I also tried adding DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD='django.db.models.AutoField' to the settings.py, but I don't see any changes. Output is this (for dpkg --configure -a):

mailman3-web (0+20200530-2.1) is being set up ...
