Does anyone know what this means and what I should do?

it's due to a race condition in writing that file

view this post on Zulip Sukera (Jun 06 2022 at 19:20):

should be fixed in 1.8+

view this post on Zulip Sukera (Jun 06 2022 at 19:20):

not 100% sure what the proper fix was, but possibly just deleting that file should work

"fixed" as in "shouldn't happen in 1.8+ again"

Gotcha! I will just wait until the official 1.8 release

view this post on Zulip Fredrik Ekre (Jun 06 2022 at 21:17):

The file is still corrupt, and 1.8 won't fix that. You can either delete the file, or try to locate the broken parts and remove those.

what I meant with "shouldn't happen in 1.8+ again" was that the root cause (the race condition) iirc got fixed, so such a corrupt file should not be produced again in the future. The existing file is of course still broken, yes.
