[Koha] Problem with rebuild_zebra

[Jared Camins-Esakov]

There was recently a change to apply deletes after updates in rebuild_zebra.
It sounds like this may be the inverse of the corruption that running
deletes before updates caused. I think probably what needs to happen is that
rebuild_zebra should extract the MARC in some sort of try{} block (the Perl
equivalent, I mean). I'm not entirely sure how to do that, but that's what I
think needs to be done.

Regards,
Jared
