I just tried to update a system from 2.0b1 to 2.0b3 (CVS @ ~0300UTC) and
discovered a problem with the section of 'update' that copies the
gate_watermarks file into the config.db files.  gate_watermarks can contain
watermarks for lists that no longer exist.  That results in:

Updating Usenet watermarks
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "bin/update", line 293, in ?
    mlist = MailList.MailList(listname)
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 70, in __init__
    self.Load()
  File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 880, in Load
     raise Errors.MMUnknownListError, e
Mailman.Errors.MMUnknownListError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/home/mailman/lists/tpc.test3/config.db'

There are lots of ways to fix it... the one I used is attached.
