Hi!
in an defective and mostly repaired (with RESTIC_FEATURES=repair-packs-v1 restic repair packs) archive, i now want to repair the index. But restic seems to do nothing…

restic tells me 17 / 17 files deleted again and again…
How to debug that? How to get the files restic wants to delete?
tried root@xp8rz2main1:~# find /srv/restic_images_01/pb/ -iname "*8819f98980*" with no results.
Greets
one restic prune did something other, now the old problem:

Your actions are generating new index files, and when successfully written out, the old ones are deleted. Nothing is wrong, what you see is normal. Index files speed things up, they are not crucial to the integrity of your repository.
