Hi,
I'm trying to install mailman on a FC5 system, but doing 'yum install
mailman' returns me a lot of lines like:
[1/1]warning: group mailman does not exist - using root
And after that I'm not able to do anything.
'/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass' returns:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass", line 45, in ?
from Mailman import Utils

File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py", line 51, in ?
MAILMAN_GID = grp.getgrnam('mailman')[2]
KeyError: 'getgrnam(): name not found: mailman'
Because neither the 'mailman' user or 'mailman' group does exist. Any
clue about what happens?
They should have been installed as part of the pre-install script for
the mailman package. They should have UID/GID 41. You didn't install it
using rpm --noscripts did you?
Try removing mailman and reinstalling it.
