This too is really tricky. See yesterday's take on this in the thread
at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055498.html>.

There is some issue which seems to affect some combination of Solaris
release > 8 and some versions of Python's distutils module and
probably the specific configuration of the Solaris machine that
impacts the installation of the C modules in the KoreanCodecs package.

You can't just eliminate the Korean codecs because it causes problems
for the email package. If your Python is 2.4 or later however, there
are Korean codecs in Python so you don't need the package in Mailman's
pythonlib. If you have an earlier Python, installing CJKCodecs
<http://cjkpython.i18n.org> might eliminate the need for the Korean
and Japanese codecs in Mailman's pythonlib.
