           Summary: when an archspec vanishes sorcery behaves badly
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Untargetted future release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Sorcery
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: dkowis AT shlrm.org


The nocona-64 archspec vanished during a recent grimoire update.

I tried to go through the sorcery menu option for Optimize Architecture to
select a different architecture. The list of archspecs was never presented.

I opted for a sorcery update, thinking something was incompatible.

This resulted in no sorcery being installed at all.

should be trivial to reproduce. Set your archspec to something that doesn't
exist, and then try to change it within sorcery. If one updates sorcery,
sorcery is lost.

And I cannot restore sorcery.

Whilst the restore is unrelated, this has resulted in a perfect storm of a
completely broken system. I cannot update this box at all.
