Comment:
It looks like the currently installed Mailman version comes from a .deb
package which is NOT in the apt repository configured on the machine. Does
anyone remember who did the last upgrade ?
Markus, any idea ?

Comment:
No idea why this was done (and I cannot imagine a reason). I scanned the
old "mailman" tickets:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=assigned&status=closed&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~mailman&order=priority
(seems Martin S was involved after Frank W, e.g. #1577)
Anyway, I'd suggest to change to a standard apt repo setup.

Comment (by wildintellect):
It was probably a limitation when the machine's were stuck on an old
version of Debian. I think Regina solved that upgrade path in the move to
LXD containers.
+1 move to repo based install

Comment (by strk):
There's no upgrade in apt repos for the current version
of Debian on that machine (8), so we're left to these choicese:
1. Find another .deb which works on that version of Debian
2. Build another .deb which works on that version of Debian
3. Stop using apt and move to manually built Mailman
4. Upgrade Debian to latest (but will still not get us the .30
version of Mailman)
I tend to think 3 would be the best choice

Comment (by strk):
I took approach 2 (build a deb package myself). It's ready for install,
just waiting for a backup before proceeding. I packaged 2.1.34 (latest
release in the 2.1 branch)
I was thinking we could start using our nexus.osgeo.org repository for
storing these deb files, so to have a "proper" apt repository...
