What's going on here is the admin overview page is instantiating every
list in the installation in order to determine whether or not to list
it on the overview. Presumably, the same error will occur when going
to the mailman/listinfo overview.

The error is that there is at least one lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file
that is corrupt and doesn't have a data_version attribute.

You could try something like

#!/bin/bash
for list in path/to/mailman/lists/* ; do
    echo $list
    path/to/mailman/bin/dumpdb $list/config.pck | grep data_version
done

to try to find the problem list.
