[Bug 1021474] Re: update-apt-xapian-index crashes with Unpickling Error in init() invalid load key

[Dennis Baurichter]

OK, the only error is this one (printed three times):
opera.desktop: parsing X-AppInstall-Popcon: invalid literal for int()
with base 10: ''

But I think that's unrelated to your issue. Seems like it worked. Just run the command again to see if it crashes again because of the new /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/cataloged_times.p:
$ sudo update-apt-xapian-index --force

If it does not crash: I don't know, what originally produced the error,
but it seems to be gone.

If it does crash: Run this command and attach uaxi.outupt:
$ sudo update-apt-xapian-index --verbose --force --batch-mode &> uaxi.output

(If you want to, you can also leave out the command I mentioned first
and only use the second. Then you have to inspect the file to see if
there was an error.)
