I've managed to get my notmuch tag database in an inconsistent
state and
can't figure out how to fix it. Because of this I have "unread"
messages sitting in my inbox permanently and I can't get rid of
them.
Specifically, I have a few threads/messages that don't have any
tags,
but still show up in notmuch search for those tags. And using
notmuch tag to remove (or add) any tags on these threads has no
effect. Doing a `notmuch compact` does not fix this issue.
(I believe I managed to do this by running some notmuch commands
while a
`xapian-compact` was running in the background.)
Here are some commands that demonstrate the problem:
~$ notmuch --version
notmuch 0.23.5
~$ notmuch search thread:0000000000058ca0
thread:0000000000058ca0 February 22 [1/1] Mandar Joshi;
Announcing TiECon Pune 2017 - Pune's largest, most energizing
startup event! ()
~$ notmuch search thread:0000000000058ca0 and tag:inbox
thread:0000000000058ca0 February 22 [1/1] Mandar Joshi;

~$ notmuch tag +inbox thread:0000000000058ca0

As you can see from the `()` at the end of the notmuch search
output, this thread has no tags associated with it. And still, it
is showing up in the notmuch search output.
What should I do to get rid of these messages from the notmuch
search output?
