I am just about done with installing Mailman 3 on a new Debian 10 server and when I go to run ./mailman-post-update, I am running into the following error:

I assume it has something to do with Haystack.

Suggestions for a fix?

Downgrade to Django 2.2.x release with something like:

$ pip install ‘Django<3.0’

We aren’t compatible with Django 3.0 due to haystack yet. You can also install the latest beta of django-haystsack but that is beta so YMMV:

$ pip install -U —pre django-haystack

And then restart.

Thanks, Brian
