Error: "fatal: bad object..." during repo sync

[Simon Que]

I did a repo sync and got this at the end:

I also tried running "update_chroot" but it still does the same thing.

Is this the same issue you've been looking at, Gabe?

Still getting this problem today.

[Don Garrett]

For some unknown reason, you appear to have a bad revision in your git repo. Assuming you aren't doing development in libmtp, then it should be safe to do:

rm -rf $SANDBOX/.repo/projects/chromium/src/third_party/libmtp.git

Then try the repo sync again.

You'll need to also do:

rm -rf $SANDBOX/.repo/project-objects/chromium/deps/libmtp.git

Simon, what manifest are you using? Are you using the regular manifest or the sonic manifest? Are you using a shared repo checkout where objects from one checkout are inherited from another? (repo init --reference will set this up)

To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to chromium-os-d...@chromium.org.

What's $SANDBOX? Mine is undefined. I'm guessing it's ~/trunk within the chroot.

I don't even know what the sonic manifest is. When I set up my current workspace 2 years ago, there were regular and mini layouts. I don't think I've manually updated anything since then.

[Simon Que]

I ran these in the chroot:

(cr) sque@sq ~/trunk $ rm -rf .repo/project-objects/chromium/deps/libmtp.git

(cr) sque@sq ~/trunk $ rm -rf .repo/projects/chromium/src/third_party/libmtp.git

(cr) sque@sq ~/trunk $ repo sync

But still getting the same thing. Also tried "gclient sync" in the chromium cros-sdk chroot.

What if I just manually deleted src/third_party/libmtp under my chromium directory?

[Don Garrett]

It's whatever the root directory of your development sandbox is, outside the chroot.

If you are in src/scripts, it's ../..

[Simon Que]

Finally got it to work, by moving chromium/src/third_party/libmtp...

[David James]

Yup you need to delete all three :)

[Don Garrett]

I thought the source dir would sort itself out. Okay.
