darcs: First push fails


When I push a patch to a remote repository via ssh, the first try fails with

darcs failed:  Couldn't fetch 0000000369b60776b9ae996a253f8a5a296927293faab87036846b34b0e710c9fc0f58429b'
in subdir inventories from sources:

cache:/home/me/.darcs/cache


HINT: I could not reach the following repositories:
    /home/me/.darcs/cache
    /usr/home/me/darcs_repos/ar_report
  If you're not using them, you should probably delete
  the corresponding entries from _darcs/prefs/sources.
Apply failed!

The second attempt works without problems. Does someone has a clue what's going on here?


Solution

  • After some investigation, this turns out to have gone away in darcs 2.8.5 whereas it was happening in darcs 2.8.4. My best guess is that it was an instance of this bug, but the connection wasn't obvious.
