[Mailman-Developers] Adding a new list attribute

[Danci Emanuel]

After all I managed to fix this one also. The problem was that mailman was 
trying to access  /var/data/mailman.db, which did not contain
the dlists_enabled column, so it was seeing it as a "corrupt" file.
I just deleted it, restarted mailman and it`s working great!

Thanks!
Emanuel

Did your database already exist before you added the code?  If so, then the
existing table in the database will not have this column.  You can test this
by wiping out your mailman.sql file and starting over.  If it still crashes,
then, well, it's Something Else ;).

No worries.  Helping with this kind of thing is what this mailing list is all
about!
