Hello! I am experiencing the same problem on a single-node configuration of CouchDB (not clustered). I am not using CouchDB directly but only through another application called [Pyrame](http://llr.in2p3.fr/sites/pyrame/documentation/_modules/cmd_rundb.html#del_acq_rundb). In the link, you can look at the portion of code that throws the error. In turn, this application makes use of the `purge` function offered by the [couchdb-python](https://github.com/djc/couchdb-python) package. I am a Physicists and not a server administrator so my knowledge of the inner working of CouchDB is very limited. I read from above that there is a workaround but I cannot understand how to use it. Could you please explain to me how to modify the Pyrame or couchdb-python code to make use of the workaround? I know that it is not strictly "your job" to do so and apologize for the strange request. I am using CouchDB 2.2.0~bionic and Ubuntu 18.04. CouchDB was installed from the repositories.
