<p>Updating our test-system seemed to work perfectly. Not so for
production.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So I <i>suspect</i> 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 <i>suspect</i>
that the next reaping through the database by the new code would
clean them out.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
