When starting, Sympa check if the current version is compatible with the 
current data structure. The goal is the automatically upgrade de  
datastructure when upgrading the Sympa version. The test you report is a 
comparaison of the previous version and the current one . The previous 
version is stored in a file named ~sympa/etc/data_structure.version . 
This file is written by Sympa after it finish the upgrade and later 
start of Sympa, the current version and the previous version are the 
same and  no change are performed in data structure.

Check that file is writable by Sympa, check it's content.
