I recently tried to build all in the gossemer threads links 2.0 and received this message below, can anyone tell me how I can find out which number this error pertains to in the directory. I have tried to look it up by date, but it says it is an invalid entry.
Thanks! Please email me at sstrand@worldrecreationaldiscounts.com if you have any suggestions on how to clear this up, it won't allow me to update the database until it is fixed.

Look in /data/links.db, you should be able to find the entry with the wrong date format. It should be like so: 05-Feb-2002.

You could copy the file into a text program and do a search for 05-Feb-02 if you don't see it right away. If there are many errors, replace the current links.db with your most recent backup copy.

Thank You! I was able to load the most recent backup and went through it as you suggested, there were quite a few of them and when I finished I tried to build again and it still came up with the same error message, I went back through my numbers and it looks like I got them all. Is there any way to do a new build and determine from that data which ones were missed? It won't create a backup of the new changes.

Have you changed anything? Date routines in db_utils.pl? New fields in links.def? With a 2002 date, I have to ask when was the last time you built and had no error?
