[Mailman-Users] mailman-2.1.26: `make install` fails

[Brent Kearney]

Hello,

When I run 'make install’ on mailman-2.1.26 (with python 2.7), I get a fatal error in the “misc” directory. The complete output is below.

I notice that the "for p in   ; \” has an empty list of packages. Perhaps that for loop should be surrounded by a conditional checking that the $(PACKAGES) variable is non-empty?

Best regards,
Brent
