Also not a Mailman bug, and certainly not a python2.2-in-debian bug either.
Look at the path: /usr/local. Nothing in Debian installs things in
/usr/local. You installed Python in the non-debian way, and it's interfering
with your debian-installed python software. Remove it, and software will be
happy again. This is the same reason the compileall -q wasn't working.
