[Mailman-Users] List archive passwords problem

[John Vorstermans]

Hi.

Users having problem access the list archives after list has been moved.  
When they try they get this message:

=========================================================
Bug in Mailman version 2.0.3
We're sorry, we hit a bug!

Please inform the webmaster for this site of this
problem.  Printing of traceback and other system information has been
explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the
Mailman error logs.
=========================================================

A copy of the error.log is at the bottom of the message

When the user goes has the password emailed to themseves to make sure they 
are using the correct password then it varifies that the password they are 
using is correct.

I have just moved the mailling lists from a BDSI 4.1 box to a Debian 	
potatoe dist.  Everything else is working just fine.

If anyone can suggest anything then I would be most appreciative.

Here is the error log section:
