It is not clear what is running /var/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists here.
mailmanctl doesn't run it and it isn't in the script which is normally
in /etc/init.d/mailman.

If the mailman list is messed up because you changed
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN after creating it, you should be able to fix that
with

bin/withlist -l -r fix_url mailman

However, if you want to just delete the mailman list and recreate it,
that should be OK too. If the problem is with the mailman list, that
should fix it.
