[Mailman-Users] mailman error after server crash

[Carlos Bergero]

Hi there, a few weeks ago my mail server crashed and serveral files
where damage, and placed in lost+found. For some reason the mailman
system failed after that while starting the service i got the following
error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/list_lists", line 122, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/sbin/list_lists", line 94, in main
    mlist = MailList.MailList(n, lock=0)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 130, in __init__
    self.Load()
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 665, in Load
    self.CheckVersion(dict)
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 704, in CheckVersion
    if self.data_version >= mm_cfg.DATA_FILE_VERSION:
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 146, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError, name
AttributeError: data_version

After checking back and forth I found that removing the list_lists from
the /etc/init.d/mailman let the service start but one or more lists are
not working, and of course the error persist, I cant also access the web
page of the list. Can you give me some advice on what can be wrong. So
far I cant make out which file is missing or has something wrong.

Something similar happends when I run check_db (broken_list) only the
lines refering to list_lists change and are replace by check_db instead.
Is there a way to recover from this or to reset the list without erasing it?

Thx,
