A while ago I made a site that generates Anki decks for Japanese automatically, but lately I have received several reports my users are getting a FileTooOld error when trying to import one of the decks in the more recent versions of the PC desktop client.
A typical error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "aqt\importing.py", line 402, in on_done
File "concurrent\futures\_base.py", line 432, in result
File "concurrent\futures\_base.py", line 388, in __get_result

anki.rsbackend.DBError: DBError { info: "", kind: FileTooOld }
I haven’t been able to find any other info online, but as the decks are generated at the time the user downloads them it isn’t likely to be the file creation date. Any clues what is likely to be causing this?
