PyString_FromStringAndSize assertion failure
Last modified: 2008-02-11 17:19:28 EST
Description of problem: When I run 'bzr stat' or 'bzr diff' I get the following error: python: Objects/stringobject.c:56: PyString_FromStringAndSize: Assertion `size >= 0' failed. There is no traceback. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bzr-1.1-1.fc8 Additional info: python-2.5.1-15.fc8
Is this with a publicly available repository that I could try? I can't recreate the problem with any of the repositories I'm working with.
(In reply to comment #1) > Is this with a publicly available repository that I could try? No, sorry, it isn't. I'm about to try a downgrade. Stay tuned.
I tried another branch and it's okay, so I decided my repo might be corrupt somehow: $ bzr check checked branch file:///opt/srv/foo/html/ format Bazaar Branch Format 6 (bzr 0.15) checked repository <bzrlib.transport.local.LocalTransport url=file:///opt/srv/foo/html/> format <RepositoryFormatKnitPack1> 48 revisions 711 file-ids 1129 unique file texts 13544 repeated file texts 0 unreferenced text versions python: Objects/stringobject.c:56: PyString_FromStringAndSize: Assertion `size >= 0' failed. Aborted I don't know if this says anything either way.
Branched a new copy of the repo and it works. I kept the bad one around in case there's anything you want me to check.
Doing post-mortem on the repo itself is something that upstream would be more capable of dealing with. I see you've already sent them an initial message. Adding the bzr check and that the new branch worked might help them.
