Summary: Migration 2.0.5 to 2.1.5 bug + fix

Initial Comment:
Hi,

we are happy mailman users for many years and
finally made the update yesterday. But there
was a detail which needs to be fixed:

## from 2.0.5 to
## mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.2

# modify in file /usr/lib/mailman/bin/dumpdb

        # BAW: this probably doesn't work if there are
mixed types of .db
        # files (i.e. some marshals, some bdbs).
        d = DumperSwitchboard().read(filename)

to

import marshal

...
        # BAW: this probably doesn't work if there are
mixed types of .db
        # files (i.e. some marshals, some bdbs).
        fp = open(filename)
        d = marshal.load(fp)
        fp.close()

Only then it will work (we were seeking for two hours
to figure out... :-)

This would solve this problem as well apparently:
