Package: recoll
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Recoll versions up to 1.19.14 contain an issue
(http://www.recoll.org/release-1.19.html#rodb) which, in conjunction with a
Xapian one (http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/645) can cause index
corruption. 

The consequence is mostly repeated indexing of documents at each
incremental pass, but also possibly query errors.

This is a random issue, relatively difficult to reproduce, but it is
probably dependant on timing issues (this is NOT a multithreading bug
though, it is seen in single-thread mode). Users who experience it see it
rather frequently, some others never see it. In any case, it is fixed in
1.19.14

The package should be updated to the latest version: 1.19.14p2. As far as I
know, the bug is also present in 1.17, which is also shamefully ancient.

J.F. Dockes
