[Mailman-Users] Any Solution to 2.1.2 Upgrade on Debian?

[Jon Carnes]

You should try contacting the Debian maintainer for Mailman. I'm sure
they would be able to help you - in fact they are probably on this
list...


Reporting problems in Debian packages
=====================================
If you would like to file a bug against a Debian package, we have a bug
tracking system where you can easily report your problem. Please read
the instructions for filing bug reports:
   http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

If you simply want to communicate with the maintainer of a Debian
package, then you can use the special mail aliases set up for each
package. Any mail sent to <package name>@packages.debian.org will be
forwarded to the maintainer responsible for that package.

======
If that doesn't get a proper response by Monday night, try the install
from source.  It's a lot easier than you think.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
