bzr error during bzr-search of repo: Cannot process with serializer <bzrlib.chk_serializer.CHKBEncodeSerializer

[jrenbaum]

This is similar to bug #461952. In that bug I was asked to open a new bug to address the larger problem. In addition, this error is now occurring in a separate repository during a nightly bzr-search indexing of one of our repositories. The following is the traceback and error message:

Indexing: /srv/bzr/groups/engineering/pixelFormatTestingForOverlayBox/trunk

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.ValueError: Cannot process with serializer <bzrlib.chk_serializer.CHKBEncodeSerializer object at 0x94df94c>

Ok, for starters, please grab bzr-search trunk, so we can see whether the recent changes fixed your problem.

Install of latest version of bzr-search resolved my problem.
