[Dapper] After last update, I have no documents in yelp

[Ricardo Pérez López]

After the last update (april, 7th), when I open yelp I get an almost blank document, that's all. Screenshot following.

The yelp documentation is empty :/

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs which you find.

Please run "sudo scrollkeeper-rebuilddb" to resolve the issue.

Do you do daily updates? Can you run "dpkg -S /var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml"?

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

I do «sudo scrollkeeper-rebuilddb» as Daniel pointed me above, and now the problem is solved.

Thanks a lot.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could you reply to my comment anyway? You should not have to run that by hand after update, it would be useful to figure what broken it for you

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

Of course:

ricardo@yuggoth $ dpkg -S /var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
dpkg: /var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_cl.xml not found.

And this is my locale:

ricardo@yuggoth:~ $ locale
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=es_ES:es:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"

I don't know if this could help.

Sebastien, just FYI, I have the same result for dpkg -S, the file is not found.

I am the guy who first added a comment in #35670 (scrollkeeper-rebuilddb exiting without doing anything), and then opened #37577 after you told me that this was a different issue.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you do daily updates? Or is that likely you updated from a bug ekiga package not update for some weeks when that happened?

[Mario Vukelic (kreuzsakra)]

I've done more or less daily updates for the last 3 months or so, in Dec/Jan I made none for 2 or 3 weeks due to vacation.

[Mario Vukelic (kreuzsakra)]

I have aptitude logs back to October 05. I find those ekiga updates:

Do you use yelp daily? Or is that possible you had the issue for a week and didn't notice before?

[Mario Vukelic (kreuzsakra)]

Sebastien, if the question was for me, I have had the issue for a very long time, it might be even since I upgraded to Dapper. I use yelp very rarely (see #36478, which is a duplicate of #35670).

The OP, Ricardo, said it happened recently, but not how often he uses yelp.

> The OP, Ricardo, said it happened recently, but not how often he uses yelp.

Very rarely. I had never used yelp in Dapper until some days ago.

Hope this help.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That's probably a duplicate of the other issue that you just noticed, that's fixed now
