[Mailman-Users] Trouble upgrading 2.0.8 -> 2.1.3

[Morgan Fletcher]

I've got a netbsd server which has a working 2.0.8 installation in
/home/mailman. Python is 2.3. MTA is postfix. I've installed mailman 2.1.3
in /usr/local/mailman. The /usr/local/mailman is basically owned by
root.mailman. I've copied the lists and archives files over to the new
tree, but I've hit a problem. Can you help me? Here's what I've done, as
root:

ps auxw | grep postfix
/etc/rc.d/postfix stop
ps auxw | grep postfix

cd /usr/local/tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/mailman-2.1.3.tgz
tar -zxvf mailman-2.1.3.tgz
cd mailman-2.1.3
# Read INSTALL, README.POSTFIX, README.BSD
./configure --with-cgi-gid=39
# didn't do 'make DIRSETGID=: install', because check_perms will complain
make install
cd /usr/local/mailman/
bin/check_perms
bin/check_perms -f
bin/check_perms
# SNIP apache configuration...
cp -Rp /home/mailman/archives/* /usr/local/mailman/archives/
# SNIP more apache stuff
cp /home/mailman/aliases /usr/local/mailman/
cp -Rp /home/mailman/lists/* /usr/local/mailman/lists/
bin/check_perms -f
bin/check_perms
cd /usr/local/mailman
bin/withlist -l -r fix_url admins
