The owm regendb command deletes the existing indexed database before creating a new one. If there's an interruption in generating the new database, such as by the user typing CTRL-C, the old database is not available, which can be surprising given that canceling would generally be expected to leave things in their state from before the whole process began. To fix this issue, ensure the original database is restored in case regenerating the database fails.
