HaikuDepot crashes when loading

[mrentropy]

When HaikuDepot is selected from the Application menu, it starts up and then crashes when synchronizing meta-data about repositories. HREV 54412

I am so far unable to see the problem locally. Could you please attach a ​trace log here to look at and can you please also let me know what repositories you have installed on your system.

If you *temporarily* rename the directory ~/config/cache/HaikuDepot and restart HaikuDepot, does the problem keep happening?

Repositories in use

Added files for trace log and what repositories are in use. Renaming the cache directory did fix the crashing problem.

Could I please ask you to also attach your *old* repository-all_en.json.gz file in whatever locale you are using -- the one that is causing the problem. This would have been in the renamed ~/config/cache/HaikuDepot directory.

The naughty repository file

Thanks; can you please try again with the 'naughty' repository file and see if it works for you now.

The client checks with the server using an If-Modified-Since HTTP header to see if there is new data to pickup. I changed the format slightly on the server, but the client thought that its own copy was newer. I have 'touched' the server-side data so that HaikuDepot will see it as being newer on the server, pull down a copy and use that instead and the new data will be in the new format.

I do need to modify HaikuDepot to better handle this, but this quick fix should sort out anybody else with this problem.

[mrentropy]

Yes, it is working for me now.
