Re: HELP!! - Berkeley DB error

Hi,

if you can still read the repository without any propblems, you could
just make a avn dump of the complete thing and then delete (move) the
actuall repository and then check in the dump. This should completly
solve the Problem (but not the cause ...)

Regards Roland
