[Mailman-Users] Missing config.db and config.db.last files

[aaron]

Hello.

Somehow, many of our few hundred Mailman lists are missing their config.db
and config.db.last files.

Email traffic still seems to be working on the lists (as there is no content
in the archives), but both the /mailman/admin and /mailman/listinfo URLs are
producing the error show below. I searched the archives for this list to
find something relevant, but was unsuccessful.

The error output below shows our environment specs. We have applied the
Mailman 2.1.5 security patch.

We're completely confused - help!?

Thanks,

Aaron
