[Mailman-Developers] Mailman 2.1.26 Security release Feb 4, 2018

[Sebastian Hagedorn]

Hi,

FWIW, I just installed 2.1.26 on a test system, and that command does not 
work for me:

$ mailman-config
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailman-config", line 34
    print "mail_group:      %s" % ""mail", "postfix", "mailman", "nobody", 
"daemon""
                                       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Both that line and the following (for cgi_group) are double-quoted:

print "cgi_group:       %s" % ""apache""

If I remove the quotes in bin/mailman-config prior to running configure, 
the resulting script works fine:

print "mail_group:      %s" % @MAIL_GROUP@
print "cgi_group:       %s" % @CGI_GROUP@

$ build/bin/mailman-config
