[Mailman-Users] __getmsgids in ListAdmin.py (via checkdbs) reports "ValueError: too many values to unpack"

[Michael Scott Fischer]

Does anyone know what causes the following error message, and if so,
how to make Mailman happy again?

This is Mailman 2.1.6, Python 2.4.1 on a FreeBSD 5.4 system - both are
installed from ports.  I've upgraded Mailman several times, but only
after the 2.1.6 upgrade did I begin to receive these errors.

Thanks,
