[Mailman-Users] upgrade errors from 2.1b2

[Oliver Wang]

hi,

I am testing out mailman 2.1b2 on a redhat 7.3, the
following error ocurred when I did "make install". It
appears to be upgrading mailing list "test". After that,
most commands from "bin" give the same error. Since redhat
7.3 default python is 1.5.2, I use --with-python= to use
python2. Nothing special beyond that. Any idea what's
wrong?

thanks   /oliver
