Comment 4 for bug 257895

I have a similar problem. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I had the problem with the version included in Jaunty, as well as the more up-to-date package from http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu

I thought that I had a corrupt archive, since I pulled it in off a failing drive.

bzr status works, as does bzr log. However bzr check gives me:

bzr check
Checking working tree at 'file:///home/web/work/veridic/'.
bzr: ERROR: not well-formed (invalid token): line 12, column 58

Trying to commit my current changes
bzr commit -F commit_message.txt
Committing to: /home/web/work/veridic/
aborting commit write group: UnexpectedInventoryFormat(not well-formed (invalid token): line 12, column 58)
bzr: ERROR: not well-formed (invalid token): line 12, column 58

I'm not at all familiar with python, can anyone give me pointers where to look further?
