Can you explain more detail of the environment ?
Is this your fresh install of mailman, or upgrading from
older version ? Install from source or package ? What do
you you when you exec 'ls -l <prefix>/lists/*' ?

[Bongervw (bongervw)]

I had the same issue after upgrading to 2.1.5....
This can be caused when you have a corrupted list or a list
does not contain all of it's pieces.

I have a small number of lists, so I ran the list_members script
for each list until I found the offending list. In my case it was
easy because it was a dummy "test" list that I could remove.

If others have this issue on a valid list, then they will need to
backup the lists files and recreate it. (someone else may have
a beter way to fix the corruption depending upon what it is)

[Gdv-users (gdv-users)]

I confirm the above bug.
It happened after an upgrade of Debian testing (every
package in the system is a packaged version from a
well-known mirror, no package is built from source in-house).

the output of follows:
