So I got another one today - and I watched the log:

8/29 09:50:35 evnt Finished Importing QWK Network Packet from DIGDIST: (1 msgs)
in 1 seconds (1 msgs/sec), 3 errors, 0 dupes
8/29 09:50:35 evnt QNET /opt/sbbs/data/DIGDIST.qwk renamed to /opt/sbbs/data/DIGDIST.qwk.5d67134b.bad
8/29 09:50:35 evnt QNET !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) in main.cpp line 2954 (event_thread) removing "/opt/sbbs/data/DIGDIST.qwk" access=0

It says "3 errors", but no where preceeding did it show any error.
(It did have !Filtering QWK message from ... - but many more than 3 of them).

The packet was renamed bad, I guess because of the errors, but then the last line shouldnt have been attempted?

How do I find out what those 3 errors were?

The only thing I can see is a possible vote message import errors. I've added some warning-level log messgaes if the relevant C function fails, so try updating and see if that logs the additional details needed.

I agree, good catch. Should be fixed now.

How do I find out what those 3 errors were?

Try CVS-updating, build, and re-import the QWK packet.

So it was voting:

Why would I be getting these? (I've occasionally seen some voting up/down messages...)

Is there a VOTING.DAT file included in the packet?

Okay, that's possibility down. :-)

Do you have debug log-level enabled? Some of the vote failures are only logged as debug-level messages.

I see now there are few cases (like duplicate vote msgs) that are not logged at
all, so I'll be adding those log messages and committing soon.

No, my builds are normally release builds.

It should be duplicate votes should it? I only get DOVEnet from you, and I think I've only ever voted on 1 message on my side.

That doesn't matter. I'm talking about the log-level. Debug-level log messages are sent/logged in release builds too.

<shrugs> It may be something else. The log output should tell us.

Oh, OK. I'm using whatever is "default" - which now that I found that option is
"Informational". I'll change it to Debugging.

That's probably just a very early vote message left-over in that conference. You can safely ignore it.

You can safely ignore those errors as I think just really old vote-messages.
