+Have you upgraded hyperestradier since setting up the wiki? Apparently it
+breaks a lot when it's upgraded, I find I often have to re-run ikiwiki
+-setup after upgrading hyperestradier to force it to rebuilt its database,
+then incremental updates work again for a while. This is one of the reasons
+I want to change to a different search backend. --[[Joey]]

+It was a completely fresh, completely untouched, unconfigured installation
+of hyperestrainer (Debian unstable on hurd-i386).
+Even when running an `ikiwiki --setup [...] --rebuild` I get this:
+
+    [...]
+    rendering templates/note.mdwn
+    rendering templates/popup.mdwn
+    updating hyperestraier search index
+    estcmd: ERROR: /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier: database problem
+    estcmd gather -cm -bc -cl -sd -cl /home/wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier - exited nonzero: 256
+    done
+
+Now I did a `rm -rf ~wiki/wiki/.ikiwiki/hyperestraier` and re-ran
+`ikiwiki --setup [...] --rebuild`:
+
+    [...]

+    $ echo $?

+
+`--rebuild`ing once more, I'm back to the previous error message.
