You don't need any config.db files.  Those are holdovers from much 
older versions of Mailman, and when you first upgraded to a more 
modern version of Mailman they would have been converted over to 
config.pck "pickle" files.

Those error messages are red herrings.  Don't be fooled.  You're only 
seeing those error messages at all because you did a "check_db -v" 
instead of the normal "check_db".
