apt-get purge mailman, then delete files in /var/lib/mailman, /etc/mailman, 
/usr/lib/mailman, /usr/share/mailman and /usr/share/doc/mailman (I think that 
is it).  Purge should do all this for you (especially if you haven't touched 
any list config).

On the other hand, that is a strange error you got, and suggests you may have 
another underlying issue.  If you haven't got anything else on the box, you may 
just want to reinstall with the latest Lenny minimal server install and work 
upwards.

Using the Tarball is easy enough, though I always use the Debian package 
because I never have any issues with it.

Thanks.
Andrew.
