Debian, seemingly exhibiting its usual carelessness toward such mediocre things as backwards-compatibility, has "Deprecated" Digest::SHA1 which is used by MJ2, and there's no way to get it from the Debian archives, as there is for other modules that are required. The solution is fortunately trivial, so I'm putting it out there for the benefit of others: if you simply replace Digest::SHA1 in the code with Digest::SHA, the perl-modules package in the perl core will give you a compatible set of Digest::SHA1's functions from the Digest::SHA module. MJ2 will work fine with that, as far as I can tell. Perhaps it would be good if MJ2 could look for this in addition to Digest::SHA1. Cheers, Sabahattin PS: MJ2 is too well hidden. I keep wondering why Mailman is so popular, and keep forgetting that it took me this long to find. In truth, I'd found it before now, but dismissed it (at the time) for having insufficient bounce processing and no VERP support. Which is a shame, because it's AWESOME! :-)
