Before doing anything, show me the results of

ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/

and

ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/

First you need to do something like

rsync -a /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/

to copy the entire structure from /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/ to
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/.

Alternatively, assuming your
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox files
are good and contain all the messages except recent tests, you could
just do something like
```
for list in `bin/list_lists --bare`; do
    bin/arch --wipe $list
done

to rebuild the archives from the .mbox files, but if any of the .mbox
files go back before Mailman 2.1, they should first be checked with
bin/cleanarch for unescaped 'From ' lines in message bodies and fixed first.

This part I don't understand. What does

ls -la /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/*.mbox

show?
