[Mailman-Users] 2b6 hangs compiling versions.py

[Dan Mick]

Clearly, one of the lists is locked.  Did you quiesce mailman first
(turn off cron and sendmail)?  If so, go remove the lock(s) in ~mailman/locks
and try the install again.  (It's not compiling; it's doing the update check.
versions.py is the last thing it compiles, and that's complete.)
