Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Brion Vibber (vibber) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 2.1.5rc2 upgrade dies on corrupt qfiles

Initial Comment: Upgrading from 2.1.2 to 2.1.5rc2; a couple of the .pck files in qfiles/shunt were zero-length for reasons unknown. This caused the upgrade (make install) to fail with this message: updating old qfiles Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 780, in ? errors = main() File "bin/update", line 709, in main update_qfiles() File "bin/update", line 441, in update_qfiles msg, data = dequeue(filebase) File "bin/update", line 497, in dequeue msg = cPickle.load(msgfp) EOFError make: *** [update] Error 1 Removing the zero-length files cleared that up. I did have one other problem; while investigating the first bit I dumped some info to a text file in qfiles, and the next make install failed with this error: updating old qfiles Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/update", line 780, in ? errors = main() File "bin/update", line 709, in main update_qfiles() File "bin/update", line 434, in update_qfiles for filename in os.listdir(dirpath): OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/home/mailman/qfiles/blork' make: *** [update] Error 1 At least that had the filename in it. ;) Removed the file, and it installed/upgraded cleanly. So far so good... ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have no zero-length files in qfiles/shunt. My error is similar, but I'm not certain the two are related.
