Subject: How to recover from this permanent fatal error?
Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 19:44:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMP44s0L4DL0HBTDsOrQwb5ENpz23G9HmNULwGjt7ChWefMFdA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I can't use notmuch anymore, I get this error:

A Xapian exception occurred opening database: The revision being read
has been discarded - you should call Xapian::Database::reopen() and
retry the operation

Context. In order to investigate a bug about mbsync I moved away the
folder ~/mail/.notmuch. I have a timer that calls notmuch new after
mbsync, so I paused that timer.

Initially I used notmuch, only to see everything empty. Then I
recalled what I did, removed all the files, and moved back the .nomuch
directory.

IIRC I was able to use notmuch without problems once, and then I got the issue.

All I can find about the issue is that somebody reported the exact
same message to the mailing list (id:87txmb4xyz.fsf@mcs.anl.gov), but
did not receive any feedback.

Ideas?
