After `nvtake myprogram=1.0.0`, the next invocation of nvchecker crashes with a TypeError

[hypevhs]

It seems as though nvtake myprogram=1.0.0 and nvchecker disagree on what the format of the old_ver.json should be: a string or an object. The next time I run nvchecker, it cannot parse the version, and instead crashes with a TypeError.

Steps

Note: Neither old_ver.json nor new_ver.json exist at this point.

1. My ~/.config/nvchecker/nvchecker.toml:

   
   [__config__]
   oldver = "old_ver.json"
   newver = "new_ver.json"

[linux] source = "github" github = "torvalds/linux"

2. `nvchecker`

3. `nvtake linux=20240523.205109`
4. `nvchecker`

### Other notes

I have installed nvchecker from Arch Linux repos, but I can also reproduce this with a venv, installed this way.

python -m venv ~/nvchecker-venv cd ~/nvchecker-venv source ./bin/activate pip install nvchecker

work around cert location issue with bundled libcurl.so... shrug

pip uninstall pycurl pip install pycurl --no-binary :all:

Both are using release v2.14.1.

Thanks. It's fixed, and you can edit your oldver file to remove the bad data to recover.
