[Mailman-Users] Uninstall mailman manually

[Frank Walter]

Mark this was working, I thank you very much.

I deleted (indeedly just renamed):

/var/lib/mailman
/usr/lib/mailman
/etc/mailman

and after this I just could install mailman normally through aptitude.

The links you gave me instructed me to import old lists to the new installation, which was easy enough.

I want to thank you much.
