I removed that field and any occurence of it from the dbconfig file of the database. (the only changes to the default dbconfig file.) then : send-pr --request-id --database db seems to be successfull, and the index file seems to be properly filled. however, query-pr pr-edit fail with the message "Index file /usr/local/share/gnats/vb2/gnats-adm/index contains incorrect number of fields" in a next attempt (after a clean install of the db) i furthermore changed in the dbconfig file the entry binary-index=false send-pr again seems to work and query-pr does not fail, but the output is obviously not correct. the category entry has been garbeld: >Number: 1 pendingry: >Synopsis: (note: 'pendingry:' instead of '>Category: pending'). the pr-edit now fails with the message: pr-edit: Can't open file `' am i doing something seriously stupid? it is just not allowed the delete/change field? or did i hit a bug? tia, heinz-dieter conradi _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
