I'm not sure about the digests problem. You could try 'bin/withlist -i' and then at the >>> prompt type
unicode('abcde', 'iso-8859-15')
if this prints
u'abcde'
Mailman is able to access the iso-8859-15 codecs and there should be no problem with iso-8859-15.
It does print "u'abcde'". Good!
I thought the deprecation warnings were from Python 2.6. Actually they probably come from the Python 2.4.5 email package which would indicate that for some reason, either the email 2.5.8 package that comes with Mailman 2.1.11 did not get installed in Mailman's pythonlib directory or for some reason, the paths.py module in Mailman's bin, cron and scripts directories is not inserting the correct path to pythonlib in sys.path.
Is there a pythonlib directory in Mailman's "prefix" directory and does it contain an 'email' subdirectory?
I think you've diagnosed the problem. There is a pythonlib directory, but it is empty.
I built Mailman as user "root" (knowing perfectly well that this is not the thing to do unless you choose to trust your software providers), but I ran "make install" as user "mailman" in order to ensure that the resulting files would have the correct owner.
I'll have a further look at the install procedure, but if you have any idea how it could have failed, I'd really like to hear about it.
