I installed/compiled Python and Mailman (at the time 2.1.1) on the RH Linux 
and everything worked fine (although it's not in production yet).  I copied 
the lists and archives over.

Then on Sunday I upgraded from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 and got the error message 
above.  I didn't get any error messages previously, although it hadn't been 
rigorously tested.

check_db [list] does not report anything.

No, it wasn't.

There weren't any queues, because so far this isn't a live server.

Thanks for your help.
