[Mailman-Users] permissions [errrno 13] with debian and mailman 2.1.1

[drew]

Hello all,

I have been fighting with the gid bit problem in debian for hours now
and any suggestions would be very welcome.

First of all, I am running Debian sarge/sid and recently updated to
mailman 2.1, since then I haven't been able to get this setup to work. 
I have looked through the FAQ and lists but can't find the solution. 
Currently installed are:
#dpkg -l
ii  mailman        2.1.1-4        Powerful, web-based mailing list
manager
ii  postfix        2.0.7-3        A high-performance mail transport
agent
ii  python2.2      2.2.2-6        An interactive object-oriented
scripting lan

The debian install expects the wrapper to run as 'daemon', so the
scripts and aliases file are gid=daemon.  This resolved the first error,
'mailman expected gid * but got *'

Now however I get the error:
>

bin/check_perms doesn't complain of any permission errors.

Any suggestions welcome
