This morning I accidentally double clicked on the straw RSS aggregator icon and two copies raced
to see who could corrupt the app's database first.
straw refused to start with this error:
ItemStore.py:52:__init__: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run
database recovery - - PANIC: Invalid argument
Recovery Error: See README for details on how to recover data.
And the straw README says to do this:
$ db_recover -h $HOME/.straw -c -v
$ db_checkpoint -1 -v
Fair enough, but I don't have those scripts installed db\_recover or db\_checkpoint. It turns out that they are in the libdb2-util package. (apt-get install libdb2-util)
Fortunately the recovery processed work fine.
