SYMPTOMS

On Ubuntu 6.0.6 with python2.4 Mailman cronjob tasks return the following warning:
/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py:175: DeprecationWarning: get_type() deprecated; use get_content_type()
ctype = part.get_type(part.get_default_type())


CAUSE

Mailman uses the function that is deprecated in python2.4, so the warning is shown. This warning does not affect mailman functionality.


RESOLUTION

As solution you can install the patch from Ubuntu bug tracking system, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman/+bug/25933 for more information. To install the patch use:
