after I had gotten "sks" compiled, I started it in the background
using "sks build" and then "sks db &".
I put a single key into the db using "gpg --send-keys".
I tried various combinations of "sks dump" (documentation?):
sks dump /tmp key
sks dump 1 /tmp key
sks dump all /tmp key
sks dump 0 /tmp key
That last one "dump 0 ..." is interesting: sks goes into an infinite
loop writing zero-length files.
Later on I noticed that I was unable to retrieve a key using "gpg". When
I looked in the log I found the following error:
2004-09-12 23:49:27 <mail transmit keys> error in callback.:
Bdb.DBError("fatal
region error detected; run recovery")
After running the berkeley-db program "db_recover" blindly (documentation?)
in the sks-db directory, and restarting sks, sks seemed happy again.
This can be reproduced anytime simply by running:
sks dump 0 /tmp key
Can it be true?
cheers,
