Look like your  database is not conform to the current structure. You
should upgrade you whole savannah install, including the database.

If you have lot of data (not a recent install), we can provide you
some migration script that proved to work at savannah.gnu.org and
savannah.cern.ch perfectly, for a migration from an old database to a
new one.
