But i just did that yesterday ?! On 24 Sep i wrote something like:

1 stop innd (ctlinnd throttle, shutdown), actived etc.
2 makehistory -I $PATHTMP/newindex -O -n -b -x
3 sort -t' ' +1 -2 $PATHTMP/newindex > $PATHTMP/newindex.sorted
4 expireindex -a -o -z < $PATHTMP/newindex.sorted

and yesterday i applied this after a succesful run on a test machine. So
i just rebuilt the uniover databases. Or is my above method broken ?

Last night's expire run looks good to me:

Expire messages:

I hope you see the culprit, because i don't.
