[Mailman-Users] python errors executing scripts

[Mark Panahi]

Well, I tried 'check_db -a -v' and it complains that there are no
config.pck and config.pck.last files for each list. The thing is, I
had moved the lists and archive directories from an older installation
(we had upgraded everything in our server). Seems like these pck files
are something recent? Anyway to create these? Hmmm, I suppose we
didn't upgrade properly.

The "version" command on the old installation doesn't work, but I
think it was abt 5 years old.

Thanks,

Mark
