Hello all,

I'm currently using gpodder 0.11.2 on Ubuntu 7.10.  I'm trying to sync
my podcasts to my iPod Nano 1st gen.  Trying to do it from the GUI
gives me some unhelpful generic errors, so I tried running it from the
command line, and got the following:

It sounds to me like this is some problem with the actual iPod
database, but since I am able to use other iPod tools (such as
Floola), I'm not certain.  I don't have much on the iPod itself, so
I'm not opposed to recreating the DB if that will fix it, but I'm not
sure how to do that without using iTunes.  (I avoid using iTunes if at
all possible.)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

Thanks!

Chris
