./configure --prefix=/var/lib/mailman --with-username=list--with-groupname=list --with-cgi-gid=www-data --with-mail-gid=list
I get an error that dnspython is not installed

Help (please)! Thank you in advance.

That's what configure is doing to determine if you have dnspython installed. If you get an ImportError with the manual import, pip must be looking somewhere that isn't in your path. I don't spicifically know what the issue is, but if in Python you type
import sys sys.path
is '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages' one of the paths listed? It it is and you can't import dns.resolver, there's something amiss with its installation. You could try
sudo pip uninstall dnspython sudo pip install dnspython
and see if that helps.
Otherwise, you may have more than one Python and dnspython is not installed in the default one. What does
which -a python
show?

You have two python installations, one in /usr/local/bin/python with libraries in /usr/local/lib/python2.7 and one in /usr/bin/python with libraries in /usr/lib/python2.7.
dnspython is installed in /usr/lib/python2.7, but the python run with
the python command is using /usr/local/lib/python2.7.
Your choices are to install dnspython in /usr/local/lib/python2.7 which you can do by
sudo cp -a /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dns
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
or you can run mailman's configure with the option
--with-python /usr/bin/python
First, I would run both
/usr/bin/python --version /usr/local/bin/python --version
to see which is newer and use the newer one.

Okay, that worked. I ran configure, make and make install without errors.
Now however when I try and access any list's admin web page I get a 'Bug in
Mailman version 2.1.34. We're sorry, we hit a bug!' The web server log
shows the error below, which I can't get past.

Run Mailman's `bin/checkperms -f` as root.
Or, see https://wiki.list.org/x/17891606 and the check.py script
linked therefrom.
