Hi,

It is only the list_config file. I copied list_config.5 from another server and installation continued without problems. I think, but I'm not sure, my system was missing a perl module which was missed by the configure statement.

I can't reproduce because I upgraded my system to Debian stretch.

Hi,

I tried to install sympa in Debian jessie system but I got a make error concerning pod2man. Executable pod2man exists on
the system. Don't know how to solve. Any ideas?

Sympa version: 6.2.36
System: Debian jessie + backports
Perl:  revision 5 version 20 subversion 2
Configure options:

./configure \
    --prefix=/usr/local/sympa \
    --without-smrshdir \

    --with-initdir=/etc/init.d \
    --with-aliases_file=/etc/postfix/sympa_aliases

Hello,

I can not reproduce this error (neither on Jessie nor on Debian testing) - do you use system pod2man?

Otherwise you could try to remove list_config from the Makefile.
