Retried everything if i do everything from the scratch.
ie install mailman and do not upgrade it.
just install from scratch it works.

then when i copt all files from mailman dir on freebsd move them to
solaris reisntall mailman like upgrade it everything goes wrong.

and i get that error. also tried only just copy lists from lists dir of
freebsd mailman and the mm_cfg.py from Mailman dir into solaris
i get it halfly working. i can see listinfo but cannot admin nor do
anything to lists.
