[Mailman-Users] Mm 2.1.1 dies after system upgrade: no mod getopt

[Christopher Kolar]

To answer Barry's question, here are the packages that Mandrake installed 
in the upgrade:

>[root at iti root]# rpm -qa | grep python
>python-2.2.2-6mdk
>libpython2.2-2.2.2-6mdk
>python-fam-1.0.2-2mdk
>rpm-python-4.0.4-28mdk
>python-base-2.2.2-6mdk
>postgresql-python-7.3.2-5mdk
>python-docs-2.2.2-6mdk
>libpython2.2-devel-2.2.2-6mdk
>python-numeric-22.0-2mdk
>python-imaging-1.1.3-1mdk

While I look for additional packages, one thing that Mandrake did on my box 
as to severely harden permissions.  /usr/bin was changed to 751 which gave 
me problems when trying to recompile Mm as user mailman (the configure 
script reported missing pieces, apparently because it could not read the 
directory contents).  Just thought I'd share that bit.  Thanks.
