but apparently dpkg wants to create databases for Mailman and Mailman Web.
During the installation process dpkg creates not only a database and a database user with approriate permissions, but also many tables.
Dpkg allows to skip database configuration. Is there routine or skript to create database, database user and all required tables after the installation process has finished?
Best regards, Markus

Dear Mailman3 list,
I try to install the Mailman3 software 3.3.3-1 on a Debian 11 system with a remote Postgres database server. During the installation process dpkg is asking for the DBA password that our DBA team would not provide to me. So what can I do?
This is really a question for Debian, but apparently dpkg wants to create databases for Mailman and Mailman Web. You will need to get your DBA team to create these databases (probably named
mailmanandmailmanweb) and a Mailman user (probablylist) with all access to these databases and probably manually configure the[database]section of mailman.cfg andDATABASESon Django's settings
