[Mailman-Users] Install problems

[Richard Barrett]

I may be wrong but I have a suspicion that you have arranged things so that 
your mailman build and install directories are one and the same.

In a short experiment I could obtain similar results to those your report 
by doing that.

You are, in effect, trying to install from the build directory into the 
build directory.

The lines that read as follows below:

<quote>
/usr/bin/install: `digest_arch' and `/home/mailman/bin/digest_arch' are the 
same file
</quote>

are the results  of trying to mv a file to itself which would occur if you 
have done as I suggest.

Similarly the lines that read:

<quote>
mv: Beim Verschieben mehrerer Dateien muß das letzte Argument ein 
Verzeichnis sein
Versuchen Sie »mv --help« für weitere Informationen.
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `*.html': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
</quote>

may arise in the scenario I suggest because the files that mv is trying to 
operate on have already been renamed with .prev suffix added.

Have all the .html and .txt files in your $build/templates directory been 
rename to .html.prev and .txt.prev?

But I could be completely wrong about what your problem is.
