Bug Description
Binary package hint: python
Installing Mailman on a fully patched ubuntu 6.0.6 x86 server install, I run the command "newlist" which brings up the following error.
All packages are latest supplied from ubuntu repo - no backports.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/
from Mailman import MailList
File "/usr/lib/
from email.Utils import getaddresses, formataddr, parseaddr
File "/usr/lib/
import base64
This could be an error with mailman, but I doubt it as I have used as similar versions as possible to ubuntu in a custom build and it works, I believe this is a problem with the packaged version of python current in 6.0.6 (this is only a theory).
Thanks for the bug report.
Can you check to see if /usr/lib/ python2. 4/base64. py is present on your system.
