Package: sympa Version: 5.2.3-2 Severity: important So as I wrongly reported in followup to #418836 whereas my symptoms were different, here's a new report corresponding to what I'm experiencing on testing, ATM.

Database sympa defined in sympa.conf has not the right structure or is unreachable. If you don't use any database, comment db_xxx parameters in sympa.conf . Sympa was purged before reinstalling, and there's no database existing at installation time. See proposals for a fix, starting from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418836#10 Sorry about the mess, I thought it was the same problem as initially reported in #418836.
