RAS has a corrupted database. RAS still runs, but some series have become invisible to it and authors complain their profiles got emptied from those items. Trying to push them back (updareq) gets a response that they are already there, so nothing is done about it. I tried to recover. It exits with no troublesome message, but verifying the database gives issues in ACIS/files and ACIS/records. I tried fixing them from dump, but dumping crashes. Backups have even more errors when verifying them. At this point, I think I am left with having to rebuild the database. But I find no indication on how to do that. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
