[Mailman-Users] SuSE patch mailman 2.1.4-83.10-patch (i586) causing much grief

At least three separate SuSE users have posted at 
mailman-users at python.org requesting help after the subject patch broke 
their mailman web access.

The part of the patch which patches scripts/driver depends on the 
escape() function in Python XML library module xml.sax.saxutils.

Apparently the XML library is not installed by default with Python on 
SuSE and the dependency is not noted in the patch RPM.

This is causing much grief for SuSE Mailman users and the 
mailman-users at python.org (and probably other) support lists. Please fix 
this.

Note to Mailman-Users list: This is a Cc: of a message to 
crc at novell.com. If any SuSE users have a better place to send this, 
please forward it on.
