Warning: I/O Error While Trying To Byte-Compile
Hello,
Have successfully set up a Debian server and installed and configured Postfix and have been trying to integrate Mailman. I am receiving the following errors during the apt-get install mailman process:
Warning: I/O Error While Trying To Byte-Compile /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qmail-to-mailman.py (2): No such file or directory
Warning: I/O Error While Trying To Byte-Compile /usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py (2): No such file or directory
Again, this is happening during install and it seems like the install is failing or not completing properly. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but continue to receive the same I/O errors. Can anyone assist?
Thanks,
ClayB

You clearly don't need qmail-to-mailman.py, and while Debian seems to like postfix-to-mailman.py (which is not distributed even as contributed source by the GNU Mailman project), I don't recommend it.

This is a Debian packaging issue. If you wish to install Debian's Mailman package, you'll have to take this up with Debian.
If you download and install the 2.1.13 tarball from <https://launchpad.net/mailman/2.1/2.1.13> or <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/>, it will be less convenient, but we can help you with any installation issues.

This is a Debian packaging issue. If you wish to install Debian's Mailman package, you'll have to take this up with Debian.
How would I go about completely removing the current, albeit, partial install of mailman? Is there a way to do any kind of complete removal other than just searching and deleting (after an apt-get remove)? I am a bit of a Linux beginner, so I am not entirely sure how the tarball installations works, but I am betting that is simpler to figure out and will ask if I need any assistance.

apt-get purge mailman, then delete files in /var/lib/mailman, /etc/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman, /usr/share/mailman and /usr/share/doc/mailman (I think that is it). Purge should do all this for you (especially if you haven't touched any list config).
On the other hand, that is a strange error you got, and suggests you may have another underlying issue. If you haven't got anything else on the box, you may just want to reinstall with the latest Lenny minimal server install and work upwards.
Using the Tarball is easy enough, though I always use the Debian package because I never have any issues with it.
Thanks. Andrew.

Apt-get remove worked as well as find -name... I was able to remove everything associated with mailman and use apt-get install mailman, which on this occasion, worked like a charm.
I am currently experiencing a hiccup at, documentation 6.1.1 (http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node13.html). I am not understanding the aliases/aliases.db instructions. I, seemingly, successfully ran /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases but now, cannot seem to find any data/aliases file or directory.
Any ideas?
Thanks, ClayB
Disregard that last email... I wasn't looking in the appropriate directory. Sorry

You could do
find / -name mailman
That should find any directories left.

The installation manual is in the tarball, but it is also at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/index.html> if you want to read it first.

Below, you suggested not to use postfix-to-mailman.py.
What should I use if not this? My postfix master.cf file contains the mailman MTA lines toward the bottom...
Mailman unix n n 2 pipe Flags=FR user=list argv=/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
This seems to be making the server go crazy, tons of processes running at once, bogging down the server. Commenting these lines out returns the server to normal operation, but then in my mail.info log file, I have tons of Mail Transport Agent not found.
Please help.

You seem to have some kind of mail loop creating all these messages/references.
That notwithstanding, You need to either remove transport_maps from Postfix's main.cf or if there are non-mailman transports referenced in /etc/postfix/transport or whatever transport_maps references, remove the mailman transport entry.
