Re: [dvd::rip] Can't restore job state due to data type mismatch:

[Laurence Barlow <laurencebarlow@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll post a quick update.

After a "emerge --sync" and "emerge -av --update --newuse --deep world"

root seems to be able to start dvdrip-master, but my normal user account 
can't. Still shows the same error.

Will "emerge --unmerge dvdrip" then "emerge dvdrip" see if it's now a 
permissions issue that 'should' sort it's self out when re-emerged.

Will keep people posted.

Regards,

Laurence
