Mailman Migration to new server

My mailman migration is going ok except its failing at update, version 2.1.5 to version 2.1.14 debian woody to Ubuntu precise
Output of update command
Updating mailing list: scholars
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 771, in <module>
errors = main()
File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update", line 661, in main

if self.data_version >= mm_cfg.DATA_FILE_VERSION:
File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 146, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: data_version
Any ideas, while I research,
Thanks in Advance.

Ok to add to this a dumpdb show that no config.pck has a data_version. In fact some config.pck are missing for some lists.

Mailman 2.1.5's Mailman/MailList.py had code to test and set if necessary a list's data_version attribute every time the list was instantiated.
I think you must be looking in the wrong directory. If there is no lists/LISTNAME/config.pck (ignoring for the moment the possibility of a Mailman 2.0.x config.db), the list doesn't exist for Mailman 2.1.x
Do you have any mods in your 2.1.5?
If you think your config.pck's are otherwise OK, you could always do
#!/bin/sh
file=mktemp
echo mlist.data_version = 0 > $file
for list in /path/to/mailman/bin/list_lists --bare
; do
/path/to/mailman/bin/config_list -i $file $list
done
rm $file
It doesn't matter what you set data_version to as long as it's less than 98.

Mark thank you for your help, unfortunately as I investigate further there is only one config.pck left an its corrupt. all the other lists have not config.pck. Is there anyway to recover a list of members email addresses?

Restore from a good backup.

Yep, thats what I was afraid you would say. unfortunately I am supposed to perform a miracle, there is no back up.
