[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#614218: mailman: Upgrade fails if /var/lock/mailman does not exist (e.g. due to /var/lock being tmpfs)

Hi,

It didn't. In fact, /var/lock/mailman always has been removed after
the failed upgrade. It just wasn't obvious from the output that
...lenny1 was installed again.

I currently trying to find the real source of the failing
upgrade. Will let you know as soon as I managed to upgrade to
...lenny2
