rmadison crashed with OperationalError; database "projectb" does not exist

[Hew]

Binary package hint: devscripts

This crash is reproducible. I haven't had a problem running it on other packages.

$ rmadison -u debian libc0.1

[James McCoy (jamessan)]

This is a transient error that occurs during dinstall runs. The database is temporarily removed and then rebuilt. There is nothing the rmadison script can do about this as the error is occurring on Debian's server, not in devscripts' rmadison script.
