Hello Tobias,
just want to give a short feedback, thanks for the hints you gave.
There was no problem with permissions or diskspace (did not check that one at
first, thanks), indeed the repos was corrupt.
It worked again after I managed to dump the content and reimport it into a
clean repos.
Nevertheless I upgraded to 0.29 and we are happy again...
Unfortunately I am not able to give a closer hint at what action lead to the
corruption and I'm afraid I simply don't have the time to trace back
everything since there are a number of projects pressing on me. But I do have
a copy of the corrupt repos so if anyone wants me to make specific tests I'd
be happy to do so. But I guess 0.22 is far to old to invest time into this,
right?
