RE: [Help-gnunet] Unable to unindex a file

[Daniel Connolly]

Does any type of cleansing happen at all? E.g. expiry of content such as
in Freenet? Not that expiry of content the way Freenet does it is
necessarily a good thing, its one of the reasons I am looking at gnunet.

Assuming that the reference gets propagated out to other nodes (not sure
if this happens, need to read more of the papers), eventually there's
going to be a mass of invalid references pointing to deleted content or
nodes that no longer exist, which will be a very frustrating experience
for users.

It is perfectly normal that the keyword-search still returns the
file-URL 
since that information is not deleted by gnunet-delete.  The fact that
the 
download times out is exactly what should happen (since the file was
removed, 
assuming that it was not replicated by other peers in the meantime).  

Now, I also get the warnings, so there's some bug there that I'll have
to 
investigate.  Presumably some blocks are not removed from the database
as 
they should be.  This will probably take a few hours... :-)
