Thanks very much for this David. To sum up for other people who may have the
same problem, I had to stop the sympa service, start from a fairly blank
database (TRUNCATE admin_table; TRUNCATE list_table), and do the upgrade
*before* the "sympa --sync_list_db", to stop the lists entering error state
because they didn't have a defined owner.

There are a couple of problems, such as list admins in the config files on
disk
who had been removed through the web UI previously. And of course subscriber
information is lost. But this is enough for me to work from.

Thanks again!
Dave
