Thread:Project:Support desk/Exception from line 1871 of /w/includes/filerepo/file/LocalFile.php: Could not acquire lock for 'npose n.png.'/reply (2)

This error happens when a file should get locked for an update, but it can't be locked. A lock is used to prevent other changes to the file/the associated database row. The code, which now is failing got introduced to fix https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54736.

Questions are:


 * Which version of MediaWiki are you using?


 * You say that you get this error for every file. Does it then always contain the filename 'npose_n.png.' or does the filename change?


 * Am I right thinking that the filename (in your example 'npose_n.png.') misses the first few letters?
