While trying ot fix this problem of Mailman not working, I decided to
upgrade to 2.1b3.  I am, however, having some trouble.  I'm not sure why,
but I've had a number of different problems.  This is the most current.

I copied all my old files into the new home directory, chowned and chgrped
them all to mailman except the one file I saw that was different,
scripts/paths.pyc, and then configured the install.  That worked fine,
with the only message being that Chinese wasn't supported, or something
like that.  However, when I tried to make install, I got the following:

---
Compiling /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "bin/update", line 46, in ?
      from Mailman import Utils
   File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 46, in ?
      from Mailman import Site
ImportError: cannot import name Site
make: *** [update] Error 1
---

Can anyone help me with this?  Someone suggested for my earlier question
that I should run check_perms... it didn't work.

Thanks,

Greg
