** Description changed:
Binary package hint: netatalk
- The upgrade from Karmic to Lucid leaves behind the .AppleDB caches in
- the shares, used by afpd for metadata. The format for this metadata has
- changed again, and the new version of netatalk can not read the old
- data, and will return error messages on attempts to access shares with
- old metadata caches.
+ The upgrade from Karmic to Lucid leaves behind the .AppleDB metadata
+ store in the shares, used by afpd for metadata. The bdb version for this
+ metadata has changed again, and the new version of netatalk can not read
+ the old data, and will return error messages on attempts to access
+ shares with old metadata caches.
The work-around is to delete these caches manually.
But it would be preferable for the install package to either
- * Scan for shares, and upgrade the metadata stores,
- * Scan for shares, and delete the metadata stores.
- * Notify the user of the need to upgrade/manually delete metadata stores.
+ * Scan for shares, and upgrade the metadata stores,

This is an old bug (http://lists.apple.com/archives/macosx-
interop/2007/Jul/msg00002.html) that keeps coming up every time netatalk
- changes their metadata format.
+ is compiled against a different version of bdb.
** Changed in: netatalk (Ubuntu)
