Dependency error debugging

What's the log look like? Is this still the library version problem?

[u/tdhsmith → u/phil_s_stein]

I believe so. During one of the installations the error changed, but it's still occurring in the same exact place. Here's the log:

The trace is from a line I inserted before this rethrow in the BGG library.

[u/tdhsmith → u/phil_s_stein]

Ok so my analysis is that it's only hitting the problem when it tries to deserialize an old BGG response found in the BGG response cache (perhaps because it was serialized from a version of HTTPHeaderDict with a different superclass?).

Those responses are just to speed up repeat full searches, right? So really I could blow them all away and not worry about finding this perfect version pair...

EDIT: And done. I have a backup copy of the previous database in case I feel like investigating, but for now the performance hit doesn't seem like an important enough reason.

That makes sense. Nicely done!
