This isn't doing a lot for my self-esteem. I'm now trying to install mailman-web and mailman-hyperkitty. Running the 'pip install' (as documented here https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#installing-web-ui) is giving me a similar setuptools error to the one I got before, although with a different version number:
[SNIPPED successfully downloaded packages] Collecting django-haystack>=2.8.0 (from hyperkitty->mailman-web) Using cached django_haystack-3.3.0.tar.gz (467 kB) Installing build dependencies ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error × pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> [2 lines of output] ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools>=61.2 (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools>=61.2 [end of output] note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: subprocess-exited-with-error × pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> See above for output. note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. Running 'pip install setuptools' replies that it's already installed (which is what I expected, because I installed it earlier) Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (80.9.0) I tried clearing pip's cache, but that made no difference. I am running as the mailman user in venv. It seems to be somehow related to the django-haystack package. In fact, running 'pip install django-haystack' results in the same error message. Perhaps I need to take it up with the maintainers of that. -- Henry Hartley Westat RB 2151 -----Original Message----- From: Henry Hartley via Mailman-users <mailman-users@mailman3.org> Sent: Friday, June 6, 2025 09:31 To: Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net>; mailman-users@mailman3.org Subject: [MM3-users] Re: Trouble Installing Mailman3 CAUTION: External Email * [ This message appears to be from westat.com but the originating sender is external.] >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> >> >> >> The next step in the instructions has me create >> >> /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg.
