The command also said I needed to upgrade pip. Doing that produced a similar error.
How to resolve this error? Thanks again.
Was the venv initially created as the
mailman
user? Maybesudo chown mailman:mailman /path/to/venv
will fix it.
Yup, that was it. Some Django directories were owned by root. The installation ran clean after running 'chown -R mailman:mailman' on those directories.
Thanks!
