[Moin-user] ACL Groups don't work in MoinMoin 1.7.1-3+lenny5

[Markku Tavasti]

Hi everybody!

Some friendly person with admin rights had upgraded old virtual server 
running older debian for MoinMoin farm. After this, all wikis were down.

Now my problem is I cannot get groups working with acl. Have tried this:

     acl_rights_default = u'MarkkuTavasti:read,write,delete,revert,admin 
TestiGroup:read,write,delete,revert,admin All: '
     acl_rights_before = u'MarkkuTavasti:read,write,delete,revert,admin 
TestiGroup:read,write,delete,revert,admin '

I get rights as one would expect, but members of TestiGroup cannot 
access anything on wiki. Even created one new wiki, but not even there.

Any ideas where and how track this problem?

One option is to install more recent MoinMoin, but apparently GUI editor 
doesn't work with python 2.5.2, so I need to upgrade even python?
