This was a held post or posts, presumably from a very long time ago. If
you look at the full output from the dumpdb of this list's config.pck,
you'll see what's there.

Do the following:


$ bin/withlist -i
No list name supplied.
Python 2.5.1 ...
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> import cPickle
>>> fp = open('lists/some-list/config.pck', 'r+')
>>> d = cPickle.load(fp)
>>> del d['requests']
>>> fp.seek(0)
>>> cPickle.dump(d, fp, 1)
>>> fp.close()
>>>

(You enter control-D (^D) on the last line to exit.

You can then run bin/update to finish the upgrade.

Note: that you can't use withlist in the normal way to fix this list
because any attempt to load the list as a MailList object will fail
with the original error.

You are correct of course, and I will fix it.
