FWIW, I've recently manually done: ln -s /usr/lib/mailman/pythonlib /var/lib/mailman/pythonlib after such a Mailman upgrade. It solved the shown errors from senddigests. Apparently, the postinst script fails to execute this under some circumstances. Since my system is nonstandard (/var/lib/mailman is a symlink here), I didn't investigate further. Anyway, the workaround might work for you too. Bye, Joost
