[Mailman-Users] Problem with setup on debian 3.0 (woody)

I installed mailman 2.0.11-1woody1 using apt-get and then went through
all the configuration details listed on the mailman web-site. I'm not
sure I did everything right because the debian dir structure for mailman
is a touch on the confusing side. It is unclear what debian configured
and what I have to configure myself (I did the crontab changes
instructed for example but for all I know they are handled already).
I'm pretty sure debian configures root as the mailman user but I'm not
positive.
Anyway, I created a test list called Dan. I can connect to the list
page: http://lcws.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dan and the admin page,
but when I try to log in as admin I get the message:
Bug in Mailman version 2.0.11
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of
traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited,
but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs.
The log looks like this:

Any ideas what is wrong or where to go for debian-specific docs on
mailman configuration?
Thanks,
