  • reprepro dies with "duplicate sort specified but not supported in datab

    From Harald Dunkel@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 16 15:20:01 2025
    Hi folks,

    Trying to add or remove a source package in my local sid repository
    reprepro returns

    % reprepro removesrc sid iproute2
    BDB1015 references: duplicate sort specified but not supported in database db_open(/var/www/debian/db/references.db:references)[22]: Invalid argument There have been errors!

    Where does this come from? reprepro is version 5.4.6+really5.3.2-1. Did somebody tried to turn back the clock? How can I recover from this?


    Every helpful comment is highly appreciated

    PS: Seems this came up with the reprepro "upgrade" 2 days ago:

    reprepro:amd64 (5.4.6-3, 5.4.6+really5.3.2-1)

    Please see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1100640

    Summary is: use reprepro from experimental.

    Cheers,

    This report is from me. The "duplicate sort" message is gone, but reprepro version 5.4.7-1 is still buggy.

    Sorry for not being clear. I was it by the same error and upgrading to reprepro from experimental fixed the problem for my basic usage of reprepro (i.e. processincoming and having my self built package published). I see that you have reported another bug, many thanks for that! I would certainly be hit
    by it one day or another.

    Cheers,
