Comment 1 for bug 139478

Same here. Started happening a couple of days ago. I only use bzr to check out and build locally the latest AWN trunk. This has worked fine for several weeks until a few days ago.

I do not change anything or try to commit anything back.

Original command was bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-core/awn/trunk <dir>
Subsequent commands are bzr update from within <dir>

Bug #137157 seems to be a duplicate.
