Hi Chris!

| These are db logfiles - mostly transactions, I think. I'd have to
go back
| and read what all goes in them.

I thought that it is something in this kind :-)

| db_archive | xargs rm
|     will delete the ones that it's safe to nuke.

Argh! It seems that my DB got corrupted:

db_archive: Ignoring log file: log.0000000002: unsupported log version 7
db_archive: Ignoring log file: log.0000003491: unsupported log version 8

I read in the archives and this seems to be a DB problem, db_recover
also doesn't help. Trying to start sks gives something like this:

sks db
Fatal error: exception Keydb.Unsafe.No_db

Looks like that I have to get a fresh keydump and start a new sks
server :-( I know it was around here some times ago, but what about
switching to a SQL database like postgresl? I think here in my case
an update of db3.x/db4.x or so might be the reason why sks' db
crashed. I took a look and found a ocaml interface to postgresql but
I'm not good enough in ocaml to implement it for a test.

Cheers,
Jan
