    Default Mailman admin gone, local delivery failing

    I upgraded to cPanel 9.4.1-S65 - and now my mailman web admins are missing, and emails sent to the address are returned "local delivery failed". Well I should back up - when I first upgraded, it was just the local deliver failing - when I ran the fix/rebuild scripts, my admin urls disappeared. I can see that the lists still exist by looking at the filesystem, but I need to figure out why the local delivery is failing, and where my admin urls went.

    When I run fixmailman, I get:
    /scripts/fixmailman: line 3: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/mailmanctl: No such file or directory
    (and then it goes through the userlist that its processing)
    and then:
    /scripts/fixmailman: line 6: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/update: No such file or directory
    /scripts/fixmailman: line 14: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin/mailmanctl: No such file or directory

    When I try reinstallmailman, I get:
    Using RPM Backend: RPM version 4.2
    unknown package python2 (ok)
    unknown package python2-devel (ok)
    ln: `/usr/bin/python2': File exists

    chmod: failed to get attributes of `/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cgi-bin/create': No such file or directory

    (and then the user list)

    I'm at a loss here - what can I do to get these lists back up?

    Default

    I managed to fix this, after hours of screwing around with it. I "upgraded" to the release version instead of stable, installed python-devel, and then rebuilt mailman using the reinstallmailman in /scripts/ - that did the trick. What a pain in the toosh.
