/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sked/index.html

The web accessable archive is in the sked/ directory. The sked.mbox/
directory only contains the sked.mbox file which is the archive in
mbox format.

It looks like there was no existing archive when you ran

bin/arch --wipe sked /dev/null

so the command failed and didn't build a new archive. The archive is
gone because the previous

bin/arch --wipe sked

which failed on the lack of the sked.mbox file had removed the archive
before failing.

So now try

bin/arch sked /dev/null

i.e. without the --wipe. This should build a new, empty archive.
