We initially setup Sympa on a Debian squeeze distribution. I managed a few years ago to migrate Sympa from Debian squeeze to Debian Wheezy. This version worked well last years.

I'm an experienced Linux system administrator but I'm not very acquainted with Sympa. However we use it for several years now and I can install and configure it. I can create lists and mailings are as they should be.

Problems started with the update in Debian from sympa 6.1.11~dfsg-5 using sympa_6.1.11~dfsg-5+deb7u1_i386.deb. I can recall specific details but the update became available through the backports repository. A few month ago. The update gave a lot of trouble due to the update procedure. One of the reasons was that my database server was not localhost. But with of lot editing and bypassing the automatic update script Sympa worked again. All lists were available and working.

For this moment I have one problem which I don't understand. Setting up a new list I miss the datasource setup in the web management environment. In the previously defined lists I was able to define sql or ldap subscriber lists. The possibility is completely gone (or I can't find it).
I see a tab "Data sources setup" but only three fields: "Notify subscribers when they are included from a data source? ", "Timeout for fetch of include_sql_query" and "Inclusions timeout for message distribution". I expect more fields like the possibility of defining data sources. In the already existing lists the LDAP or SQL lookups are working but also not manageable through the web interface.

Can anyone give me a hint what is going wrong or what I'm missing?
