apt-get purge mailman, then delete files in /var/lib/mailman, /etc/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman, /usr/share/mailman and /usr/share/doc/mailman (I think that is it).  Purge should do all this for you (especially if you haven't touched any list config).

On the other hand, that is a strange error you got, and suggests you may have another underlying issue.  If you haven't got anything else on the box, you may just want to reinstall with the latest Lenny minimal server install and work upwards.

Using the Tarball is easy enough, though I always use the Debian package because I never have any issues with it.

Thanks.
Andrew.
