This indicates that the lists/musiclist/config.pck file is somehow
corrupt. It can apparently be loaded OK, but doesn't contain all the
appropriate information.

I suggest you stop Mailman and your web server. Then clear any stale
locks per the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/noA9>. Also, run
bin/dumpdb on lists/musiclist/config.pck and
lists/musiclist/config.pck.last. If lists/musiclist/config.pck has a
data_version attribute, just restart the web server and Mailman. If
not but lists/musiclist/config.pck.last does, remove
lists/musiclist/config.pck leaving only
lists/musiclist/config.pck.last and restart the web server and Mailman.

If neither file is good, you will have to restore a good file from a
backup.
