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,
