Problem is: wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi doesn't exist. Not in that directory; not
anywhere else, either. I'm wondering if this was an accident on the part of
the Debian packagers, or if it's intentional and I'm supposed to use
something else.


Hello Steve,

it was a mistake in the Debian packaging, sorry for that.

You might consider to install recent Sympa package from bullseye-backports.

Help, please!

Thanks
