[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 1.0.7-3.1 (python libs) : can't find anything

[Cedric Jeanneret]

I'll just run quartcheck as suggested. But I'll try to upgrade our fileserver to lenny (now it's etch..), as backported packages don't contain xapian-omega [only xapian-tools...]

I'll give you quartzcheck output when it's done, but indeed, I think it's better to upgrade our systems ;)

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

C.
