The app-install data plugin generated an exception, it will be disabled

[vifito]

I tried to create a .deb package with the app-install data plugin and it thrown the following error:
...
W: The app-install data plugin generated an exception, it will be disabled
* Writing main index
...
I have the plugin configured and I had executed "falcon shell" and the python sentence to clear the cache but it doesn't solved the error.

I have also experienced this error, and tried dropping both the sourcepackage and binarypackage tables to no avail. I'm not sure what the "falcon shell" command is, but I assume it does the same thing.

I figured out what the problem is by running it with -v. It turns out that falcon hadn't created an appinstall directory for one of my pockets:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/www/falcon/.falcon/app-install/hardy-megaqwerty'

Manually creating this directory has fixed the warning for me, however the APPINSTALLDATA package hasn't been created for my second pocket, and the link on the page remains titled: APPINSTALLDATA which obviously links to nothing.

I saw the same error that the app-install directories didn't exist, I created them and I still don't get a app-install deb generated...
