  Hi gang,

  trying to get back to mailman3 as packaged by debian.
  
root at tagol/var/lib/dpkg/info# apt upgrade
Summary:

Setting up mailman3-web (0+20240312-2) ...
dpkg: error processing package mailman3-web (--configure):
 installed mailman3-web package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 20
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mailman3-web
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Adding a -x to the postinst script

root at tagol/var/lib/dpkg/info# ./mailman3-web.postinst configure
+ set -e
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
+ _DEBCONF_IMPL=
+ [  ]
+ [ -x /usr/share/debconf/frontend ]
+ [ ! -h /usr/share/debconf/frontend ]
+ _DEBCONF_IMPL=debconf
+ [ !  ]
+ [ debconf = cdebconf ]
+ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
+ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend ./mailman3-web.postinst configure
root at tagol/var/lib/dpkg/info# /usr/share/debconf/frontend ./mailman3-web.postinst configure
root at tagol/var/lib/dpkg/info#

exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend ./mailman3-web.postinst configure

  knocks me out of the shell. Any other idea how to get to the actual
  error?
