Hi,
I am still looking for a solution to this problem, or a suggestion what went
wrong...
Maybe my last posting was a little misunderstanding, but I would still like to
know why this error occured when I was trying to update the users working
copy. Although this user solved the problem brute force, I still have other
users that are likely to face the same problem when updating to the new
layout...
Best,
Patrick
