I thought that replica/pull on a 9atom would pull 9atom binaries and not the labs version. Looks like that assumption is wrong? only on .iso versions of 9atom several years old. to correct this issue, you'd have to sync /usr/glenda/bin/rc/pull first. - erik

What two databases? the divergent versions of /sys/lib/dist/replica/plan9.db and its log on the sources and 9atom. Replica respects local changes at the file level. You still have to do a manual merge if the server version changed as well. that's what i said, but this is remove vs remote,
