They didn't get deleted. They were never there. They are for pre
Mailman 2.1.x only. check_perms notes their absense, but this is
normal and not a problem.

Your tracebacks are for some other reason. If the tracebacks/error log
messages refer to missing config.db* files, it is because the
config.pck* files are corrupt or otherwise unusable, and Mailman is
attempting to fall back to the config.db* files, but the problem in
this case is not missing config.db* files, it is something wrong with
the config.pck* files.
