At best, your Mailman installation is incomplete. The newlist.txt
template which is used to create the 'list created' message could not
be found for the list language in any of the places it might be and
the English language distribution template couldn't be found either.

Does your Mailman installation have a $prefix/templates/ directory with
a number of two-letter and two-letter_two-letter language
subdirectories with 44 or so .txt and .html templates in each?

If you don't have the templates, many other things won't work either.
