Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with trying to run gossip from nixpkgs?

```

2024-04-16T17:11:00.045589Z INFO gossip-lib/src/filter.rs:30: No spam filter: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Error: Error { kind: General("Migration level 28 unknown: This client is older than your data."), file: None, line: None }

```

I'm thinking maybe I'm missing a directory that failed to be created, but not sure how to fix.

The spam filter error is normal. The other error means you have attempted a downgrade and have an existing gossip data from a newer version (in Linux it's in ~/.local/share/gossip. You can move or delete this directory out of the way to start a fresh db.

This did it

You may need to build from source or update nixpkgs, looks like the version your running is too old

I think the issue may have come when I was trying to build the master branch of gossip from source. Since I never fully got it running, I didn't consider that it may have already created some directories and data stores.

Ah yikes, yeah it probably migrated to the latest version, you likely won’t be able to go back to older versions at this point nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c

It's ok. This was all on a fresh install so I just blew away the directory and am back up and running.

You are trying to run an old client after your data was upgraded to a newer version. You need to upgrade to a newer client.
