[ZendTo] Problem updating 6.05-4 to 6.13-3

[Ken Etter]

Sorry, but I bumped mine to 6.13 over a year ago.  I just checked it now out of curiosity, but nothing like that shows up in my all drop-offs.  I either did not have that issue or they were cleaned up automatically.

Subject: [ZendTo] Problem updating 6.05-4 to 6.13-3


Updating our test-system seemed to work perfectly. Not so for production.

After updating from 6.05-4 to 6.13-3, I have some strange behavior (and have reverted to the old, by way of a VMWare snapshot).

New drop-off and pickup seems to work as expected. Picking up recent drop-offs seemed to work as expected. But the "Show All Drop-offs" now contains some entries with numeric values (e.g. "235 637 597") in place of the expected strings (e.g. "22iUmVdjs9WxszxD"). I exported all of the drop-offs to a CVS. All of the numeric clamIDs show a zero size. And most of them are well past their expiration date. Most are only a little old, but some are more than 6-months old.

So I suspect there are some old entries in the database which weren't cleaned up in the normal course of operations. The new code in 6.13 is finding them, interpreting them, and adding them to the list of available downloads. I also suspect that the next reaping through the database by the new code would clean them out.

But I couldn't be sure, so I've reverted to 6.05 while I try to figure out what it is doing and if it is safe.

I know that 6.13 is now a couple of years old, so others probably performed their update in the distant past. But does anyone have any insight or advice?
