Crash when initializing cache

[owenh000]

I have received this error several times during cache initialization. It may be that it is happening after all the individual archives are successfully analyzed, but before the initialization finishes. However, I can not be sure because I can not get a list of archives without a working cache.

Thanks!

    --exclude-caches --exclude-from excludes.txt \

can you reproduce this with 0.14?

also: please give details about your operating system and your platform, esp. 32bit vs. 64bit and cpu type.

Sorry for the delay!

Because my local cache became inconsistent with the remote repository and cache initialization was failing, I eventually had to give up and replace my remote repository. This is related to issue 107. Since then, I have been careful to keep my local cache consistent and attic has not needed to do cache initialization again.

But I will try to do some more testing when I have time!

Platform is Debian GNU/Linux amd64. I am not sure what you mean by processor type, but this is on an Intel Core 2 Duo. Is there any additional information that would be helpful?

Ok, I'm closing this now. Open a new issue if you're able to reproduce this again.
