Auctioneer installation problem

[J.M. Dana]

Hi everyone!

I have installed the Tycoon Auctioneer in two machines. In one of them
everything works. In the other, the daemon is not able to get up. I
have used the same owner and pair of keys in both machines.

When I try to launch tycoon_aucd with --not_daemonize flag, python
returns this traceback:

I can't find where is the problem. I have reinstalled twice trying to
solve a problem related with configuration files, pair of keys, etc.
and it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

There is a bug in Python that is obscuring the auctioneer problem. Try
the following:

rm -f /var/lib/tycoon/aucd/private/*

and restart the auctioneer.

Just only to let you know that it's working perfectly now.

Thanks a lot.

That's great, thanks.
