leveldb: manifest corrupted #1967

I may have accidentally avoided entering the passphrase for my paper key?

$ keybase device list
▶ ERROR leveldb: manifest corrupted (field 'comparer'): missing [file=MANIFEST-000024]
 $ keybase paperkey                                                                         <<<

Oh dear. Would you please move your ~/.local/share/keybase/keybase.leveldb folder to ~/keybase-broken-leveldb or something (rather than deleting it, so that we have the option of restoring it or looking at it later)? Any chance that just fixes the problem?

I actually rectified the situation myself. Left bug open in case there was a UX lesson here ☺

Are there any logs that might be helpful?

Thanks. Do you happen to remember what you were doing when the corruption first showed up?

I believe I misplaced my device key password and manually destroyed the GUI window hoping to restart the login process but I think keybase lost track of where it was and tried to proceed as though I had entered the password correctly. After that I was unable to provide any passwords or login at all due to db corruption.
