OVDB errors

Hi Kamil,

What was your previous version?  (a LFS one?)

In the Debian preinst script, there is:

""
You are trying to upgrade inn2 on a 32-bit system where an old inn2 package
without Large File Support is currently installed.

Since INN 2.5.4, Debian has stopped providing a 32-bit inn2 package and a
LFS-enabled inn2-lfs package and now only this LFS-enabled inn2 package is
supported.

This will require rebuilding the history index and the overview database,
but the postinst script will attempt to do it for you.

BEWARE: the timecaf spool format is not compatible between 32 and 64 bit
systems and no conversion tool is available.
""


The overview database should have already been rebuilt.

There are no recent changes in INN with regards to ovdb, and I think The Doctor
is running ovdb fine with the latest version.
I am sorry I do not have a clue right now to make it work better for you.
