Its trying to make the randomly named file in the upload directory, so probably that directory doesn't exist. Does it?

[Bob Tanner (tanner)]

Did not exist. Even thought I only added files and did a 'bzr add' and then 'bzr commit'. Did a mkdir for upload, but now get this error:

$ bzr commit

Attached.

Restored my repo form backup and things work. Not sure how or what caused directories and files to disappear. Tagging this invalid.

[Bob Tanner (tanner)]

Gonna re-open this issue. Happened to me again.

bzr: ERROR: No such file: '6v0wjdswj43345bivo19.pack': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/.bzr/repository/upload/6v0wjdswj43345bivo19.pack'

Looking at my previous Time Machine backup (4am this morning) the .bzr/repository/upload directory is there. Some time between 4am and 4pm I lost the upload directory. Only thing I've done unzip a new AddOn into the directory and try a "bzr add; bzr commit".

Inside the AddOns directory a "mkdir -p .bzr/repository/upload/; bzr add; bzr commit" is a work around.

Ok. So I suggest:
1) try to make it reproduceable on demand: unzip another AddOn, run bzr
add; bzr commit.
2) repeat and vary until you can make it happen on demand.
3) step through whatever steps you found made it reproduceable, checking
after each one for the directory (but don't leave a window open on it,
that can potentially alter things).
4) ???
5) profit!
