There should be a traceback and other information about this error in
Mailman's error log. If it's not there, there is probably a permission
issue in writing the log.

You can at least temporarily ensure that Mailman's logs are writable by
anyone and see if that helps.

Also, you can edit $prefix/scripts/driver and at line 33 set

STEALTH_MODE = 0

and the traceback will be included on the "we hit a bug" page.

Also, if check_perms -f broke things, permissions must have been set in
some non-standard way to begin with. See the FAQ article at
<https://wiki.list.org/x/4030645>.
