This is probably a problem with apt-xapian-index -- its maintainer also says, that this may have been fixed in the meantime, so if you can, please try reproducing with current versions of everything. Thanks!
Greetings! apt-package claimed I was at the latest version, so I reinstalled everything: 505 apt-get reinstall xapian-tools 506 apt-get --reinstall xapian-tools 507 apt-get --reinstall install xapian-tools 508 apt-get --reinstall install xapian-core 509 apt-get --reinstall install xapian* I'm sorry to inform that when I started Adept and it attempted to rebuild the index, it still failed, as before: Updating Xapian index failed. If it does not exist, it will be impossible to search for packages. If it is out of date, package search might be inaccurate. The error is: an unspecified problem happened; if you see this message, please report a bug to the maintainer. Context: Rebuilding Xapian database., Subprocess terminated with error 1. What else can I do to help you diagnosing this?
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I will be closing this bug.
