#616 Crash from "article file missing" error

[Greg Ward]

If I playfully delete the HTML version of a message and then re-run bin/arch, it crashes:

$ rm -f archives/private/mems-talk/2001-July/005007.html

$ /bin/arch mems-talk

TypeError: format requires a mapping

To my embarassment, I can't make this simple %s work at all! Must be some funky I18N thing. If I remove the _() from the format string, it works.

It's an i18n thing. Strings wrapped in _() can't have bare
%s's, they have to be %(name)s substitutions.

Hi,

I've got the same problem but I don't get how to resolve it.

arch appears to be trying to index a html file that isn't there.

Upgrade to 2.1b6 -- it fixes the problem.
