Created attachment 967052 [details] be more forgiving on the version update Description of problem: emacs-bbdb-3.1.2-1.fc21 will automatically upgrade the bbdb database from format 6 to 7 on startup. However, if the format line in the file looks like: ;; file-format: 6 instead of what it expects, 3 semi-colons: ;;; file-format: 6 Then it will upgrade the database contents but not change the version number. Hilarity ensues, with bbdb failing on the first record when it next starts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-bbdb-3.1.2-1.fc21 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. start with a version 6 database file with only two semicolons on the version line 2. start emacs 3. exit emacs, saving the databse. 4. restart emacs 5. inovke bbdb (M-x bbdb-search-name or something similar) Actual results: Error message on reload. wrong type arguement: sequencp, on the first record Expected results: no errors Additional info: It's possible I manually removed the 3rd semi-colon. Hard to say since the database is many years old. Patch to fix will be provided.
