Has anyone notified similar problems? What could be going on? An officially announced and fully described bug...
You know by now where you find the searchable archive?
.... others mention, that packing does not work in scenario 'pack for 0 days' then 'pack for 10 days' (when one packs for more days than previously). That is the one, I had in mind!
AFAIR I have never packed my database - an attempt to pack for 10 days, which caused critical errors, was the first one! If you indeed never did a pack before, then you probably have found a new packing bug.
In this case, I would expect, that Jim Fulton is very much interested in your corrupted ZODB to analyse the problem.
The newest message on zope-dev mentioned that the bug is fixed and will be removed in 2.2.0. I use 2.2.0 and have never used older version. My memory may mislead me, but I believe that the above mentioned packing bug was announce shortly after Zope 2.2.0 was released.
Nevertheless, it seems strange to me, that the function containing so critical error is described in detail in Zope Content Manager Guide - short intro for beginners. The Content Manager Guide is not rewritten when a bug is detected in one described function.
