Hi all-- We've uncovered an unusual behavior in both our production repository and our sandbox (both running DSpace 7.4). A colleague and I can mostly reliably reproduce it in our instances -- it doesn't happen every single time, but it does happen repeatedly. I have not yet been able to reproduce this in the demo version, so it may well be something in our local config -- but it's a weird phenomenon.
We use DSpace both for our institutional repository, and for our digitized collection materials from Special Collections. For that latter set of material, occasionally, we need to wholly replace a bitstream -- versioning isn't appropriate. When we go in, and try to delete more than one bitstream (by clicking on the trashcan icon for the selected bitstreams, and then hitting the save button), *one *of the bitstreams is deleted -- but the other ones selected for deletion become locked (previously they were publicly available.) No one can delete them, and trying to access them prompts users to log in, but eventually results in a 404 page, even though the bitstream is still present, and the bitstream access policies all suggest that it's functioning normally. It's pretty rare for us to delete bitstreams entirely, which is why we're just discovering this now, 7 months into running DSpace 7.4. But I'd still like to get it sorted out, especially because it's making a couple of items in our production instance inaccurate. Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
