Dear zhentg,
attempting the export of a .dwar file as a .sdf with DataWarrior, I received an error as shown in the attachment below for the Linux version of DW. It may be replicated by
+ running the native Linux installer in Debian 12 (datawarrior550.tar_gz, md5sum 1feb7bff2ad7129ac677973186436ee8), followed by
+ running the nightly update, apparently packaged on December 8th, 2021 (md5sum d4b262e803117dbbb3bc4dfb5c4d8bf1), followed by
+ running the nightly update, apparently packaged on January 6th, 2022 (md5sum 780819003b519e34586c0d32678b2f27).
This pattern is an update on top of an other/others already existing.
The export I aimed for was however possible again by starting from scratch. Let me suggest the following:
+ remove DW. The bash script unistall.sh is is provided in /opt/datawarrior as well in the .tar_gz of the installation archive. This is followed by
+ pristine installation of DW 5.5.0/April 2021, followed by
+ direct installation of the nightly update packaged by January 6th, 20222.
Without analysis of the updates provided by December 2021 and January 2022, it would be speculation where/why the two differ. As long as there is no major release update of DW (as pointed out in the right hand side column «recent changes»[1]), it appears safest to i) download once the installer archive, and ii) archives of the nightly updates separately in a local backup prior to an update of the local installation. To retain the archives doesn't cost much space either (as archives, the updates are about a seventh of the volume of the installer).
