The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

For what it's worth, I know where to obtain a backported Sympa 6.1.20 .DEB 
for Wheezy that works, though there may be issues with FCGI under Wheezy - if 
you get this, set apache to run under the sympa userID or restart apache on a 
nightly basis.

Your error message is saying that a column is missing from the table; it 
seems that when backporting you may have accidentally preserved the old 
database format from the previous version, so the package is creating the 
wrong database schema but not subsequently upgrading because the version file 
holds the new version.

I think you just need to identify the previous version (possibly the version 
of the original spec file you modified to do the backport?) and set this in 
the data format version file, then restart Sympa and it should automatically 
upgrade the database schema for you.  This is in 
$SYMPAETC/data_structure.version
