[Alexandria-list] alexandria crashes after update

[Petr Vanek]

Dear all,

after many months of not having time for it, i am trying to follow up on
my crashing library again. What i have:

latest (20 mins ago) svn checkout, built into alexandria_0.6.2_all.deb,
installed on debian unstable. Alexandria crashes during initialization
while it tries to read my libraries. If i remember correctly, months
back there was some kind of change in the data structure, so this is
the result for me. Unfortunately, i have just too many books in there
to redo it all again, many books have no ISBN and so on... i would
appreciate if fixing something in my files would help to recover proper
function.
