Re: [Bug 1097868] Re: After upgrade, recordings table is corrupted and new recordings are not working

 

This doesn't sound like it's related to packaging, as database upgrades
only happen when upgrading a major version (eg. 0.25 -> 0.26). Minor
upgrades don't change the database so there isn't anything to update. This
sounds like another issue to me (perhaps hardware).

Have you run a check on the database to look for corrupt tables?

Thanks,

Thomas Mashos
