repoctl update - Error: exit status 1 about repoctl HOT 9 CLOSED

I am encountering this exact issue as well

from repoctl.

I managed to "fix" things by deleting the old repository files, and regenerating. I never worked out the underlying cause.

from repoctl.

The above fix worked. Close this issue unless we can find a way to reproduce?

from repoctl.

I agree. It can always be reopened later if anyone else works out how to reproduce.

from repoctl.

Woah! Didn't mean to leave you hanging there for so long! I've been a little under water of late. Sorry bout that!

from repoctl.

When you say the "old repository files" you don't mean the actual packages do you? The database?

from repoctl.

Yes, it was just the database files I removed. I generated a new one based on the package files, following the same instructions as when I initially set up my aurutils custom repo.

from repoctl.

It might help to get the actual output from repo-remove, which I believe repoctl runs on removing packages from the db.

from repoctl.

repoctl does use repo-add and repo-remove in the background. The idea was to save me some work, both now and in the future. Getting the output though would be useful for the error case; propagating them to the user might be a challenge.
