reprepro dies with "duplicate sort specified but not supported in database"

[Harald Dunkel <harri@afaics.de>]

Hi folks,

Trying to add or remove a source package in my local sid repository
reprepro returns

% reprepro removesrc sid iproute2
BDB1015 references: duplicate sort specified but not supported in database
db_open(/var/www/debian/db/references.db:references)[22]: Invalid argument
There have been errors!

Where does this come from? reprepro is version 5.4.6+really5.3.2-1. Did
somebody tried to turn back the clock? How can I recover from this?


Every helpful comment is highly appreciated
