[Bug 629112] Re: update-apt-xapian-index crashed with DatabaseError in buildIndex()

[Alexis Wilke]

I've got a similar error. Mine says ".../index.3/spelling.baseA"
instead.

I do have a /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/index.2/ folder, but no
.../index.3/ folder.

An "ls -l /var/cache/" says:

drwxr-xr-x  3 root     root     4096 2011-10-09 07:42 apt-xapian-index

which means the process needs to be run by root. As far as I know that
would be the case so I'm not too sure why a mkdir() would fail here.

Just in case I tried to run the script manually and go no output what so
ever:

root at my-server:~# /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index
root at my-server:~#

Not only that, the index.3 folder was not created.
