Thanks for the ping Ben. On the server, `darcs check` passes, and I can `darcs get` the repo to a local copy without error. I ran `darcs optimize http` for good measure. But like you, I still can't `darcs get` this repo to a remote machine. I was able to `darcs get` another of Alexis's repos.
That's a puzzle. Sorry Alexis, I'm going to recommend you try pushing a new copy of this repo under a new name (or delete the old one and re-push to a new repo with the same name) and see if that "fixes" it. > On Aug 29, 2021, at 1:52 AM, Ben Franksen <ben.frank...@online.de> wrote: > > Am 28.08.21 um 23:03 schrieb Alexis Praga: >> I'm trying darcs again since a few days and have hit an issue when >> cloning a (non-empty) repository hosted on hub.darcs.net. >> The error is: >>> Done fetching and unpacking basic pack. >>> Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C... >>> Exception while getting patches pack: >>> user error (Couldn't fetch >>> 0000001251-f948ccb7fba745717a321df8692dd42a829f9f74bff78205e20ddcafcc0b61d8 >>> in subdir patches from sources: >>> >>> thisrepo:/usr/home/alex/code/blog >>> cache:/home/alex/.cache/darcs >>> repo:. >>> repo:alexda...@hub.darcs.net:blog >>> ) >>> Couldn't fetch >>> 0000001251-f948ccb7fba745717a321df8692dd42a829f9f74bff78205e20ddcafcc0b61d8 >>> in subdir patches from sources: >>> >>> thisrepo:/usr/home/alex/code/blog >>> cache:/home/alex/.cache/darcs >>> repo:. >>> repo:alexda...@hub.darcs.net:blog >>> >>> >>> By the way, I could not reach the following location: >>> alexda...@hub.darcs.net:blog >>> Unless you plan to restore access to it, you should delete the >>> corresponding entry from _darcs/prefs/sources. >> I managed to get around it by downloading the repository as a zip file, >> running 'darcs init' and 'darcs pull'. >> After that, cloning works again. >> Any idea appreciated, thanks ! > > Indeed I can reproduce the problem with darcs-2.16.4, with different files: > > ben@home[3]:~/scratch>darcs-2.16.4 clone b...@hub.darcs.net:alexdarcy/blog > --no-cache > Done fetching and unpacking basic pack. > Copying patches, to get lazy repository hit ctrl-C... > Exception while getting patches pack: > user error (Couldn't fetch > 0000002258-69b6b76aa783a1a96ffa71c33e3f3c47187191f5f8a824376662c78494ceb2dc > in subdir patches from sources: > > thisrepo:/home/ben/scratch/blog > repo:. > repo:b...@hub.darcs.net:alexdarcy/blog > ) > Couldn't fetch > 0000153496-12b83e9c17802e71926c9bf9d3cdeda3f1b93e1188de445b95556ff03cabdc4a > in subdir inventories from sources: > > thisrepo:/home/ben/scratch/blog > repo:. > repo:b...@hub.darcs.net:alexdarcy/blog > > > By the way, I could not reach the following location: > b...@hub.darcs.net:alexdarcy/blog > Unless you plan to restore access to it, you should delete the corresponding > entry from _darcs/prefs/sources. > > > (I used --no-cache to circumvent the cache on my machine to make sure it > actually tries to download all files.) > > This is pretty strange.
