Can't branch projects on Launchpad

[Dan MacMillan]

Hi,

 

I have been using Bazaar successfully on Windows 7 for a bit over a
year.  When I try to branch a project on Launchpad, I get output like
this:

 

2012-01-25 11:17:43.20 D:\Develop\bzrhooks>bzr branch
lp:bzr-text-checker

You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to

write to Launchpad or access private data.  See "bzr help
launchpad-login".

bzr: ERROR: short readline in the readvfile hunk: 'Bazaar pack format 1
(introduced in 0.18)\r'

 

2012-01-25 11:18:09.46 D:\Develop\bzrhooks>cd bzr-text-checker

 

2012-01-25 11:18:15.14 D:\Develop\bzrhooks\bzr-text-checker>bzr qlog

bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "".

2012-01-25  11:18    <DIR>          .

2012-01-25  11:18    <DIR>          ..

               0 File(s)              0 bytes

               2 Dir(s)  101,856,608,256 bytes free

 

This used to work.  It is, for example, how I installed the bookmarks
plugin when I set up Bazaar in the first place.

 

I think it has to do, somehow, with something I did last week.  I
already had Bazaar installed from the Windows installer ... I believe
2.2.1.  Last week though I wanted to do a trial conversion of one of my
branches to mercurial using their convert plugin, and I needed to be
using the Python version of Bazaar in order to do that.  So, without
uninstalling the Windows build of Bazaar I already had installed, I
installed Python, pywin32, and Python edition of Bazaar (as well as the
Python version of mercurial, although I don't think that's relevant
here).  In fact I installed and uninstalled all of these things several
times because I don't really understand the Python ecosystem and I had
mismatches between the Python version and these other programs, as well
as bitness (32 vs 64) issues.

 

I didn't ever get my convert working and I decided to try again on one
of my *nix systems later.  I uninstalled everything ... all Python and
everything that depended on Python.  I left my Windows Bazaar install
intact though and it does work for most operations.  When I tried
branching some plugins from Launchpad this week though I got the error
above.  So I uninstalled Bazaar and installed the newest Bazaar (Windows
build), and it didn't work.  I deleted my %APPDATA%\bazaar directory
thinking there might be a conflict with something I had in there, but it
still didn't work.

 

Other developers here can successfully branch from Launchpad so there is
definitely something messed up with my system.  I just don't know what.
I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.  Or if this is the
wrong forum, just let me know where to go.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan MacMillan
