Possible fixes
I checked the file VERSION
at the specified location - it doesn't exist. The directory and all the files are owned by git:git
The file VERSION
is not in the archive either.
So I tried creating a dummy VERSION
file. This got me a step further with the following message on importing:
end of file reached
At last, I tried putting a dummy numbered version 0.1.5
in the VERSION
file based on a hunch reading this page which led me a step further:
unknown attribute 'ldap' for ProjectMember.
