The config.db and config.db.last files are a different format from
older Mailman versions. It is normal to have only config.pck and
config.pck.last and not config.db and config.db.last. This is not the
cause of your problem.

If all your config.pck files are OK for all lists, then I don't know
what the cause would be. I would suggest, that it is possible that the
problem is caused by something wrong with a config.pck file that
check-db isn't finding.

If you are able to stop mailman for a while, you might try the
following:

bin/mailmanctl stop

then rename the lists/ directory e.g.

mv lists temp-rename-lists

and then try visiting https://bootlog.info/mailman/listinfo. If that
works - gives page with no lists but no error - then the problem is
certainly in going through the lists/<listname>/config.pck files to
find the advertised lists. Rename the directory back to lists/

mv temp-rename-lists lists

and then one by one move the <listname> directories elsewhere as in

mv lists/<listname-1> temp-move-<listname-1>

and try going to the listinfo web page again. If you get the error,
either move that one back and move another or just move another until
you find the one that causes the problem.

Note that you have to move the <listname> directories out of the lists/
directory, otherwise, you are just changing the "list name".

Make sure you move all listname directories back into lists/ and do

mailmanctl start

If you have identified a bad list in this way, you might use bin/dumpdb
to try to diagnose what's wrong with it.
