[Koha] Zebra reindexing issue

[David Cook]

Hi David,

Firstly, /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Filter/MARC/Index880InZebra.pm has been removed from the Koha master branch and Koha 22.11.x as it was superseded by BZ 31532. It should've been removed from Koha 22.05.x as well, but it looks like it wasn't. That's an oversight. I'll ask the 22.05.x maintainer to look at that.

That error message means that you have 6 bad 880 entries though. 

To find those records, look through https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library for examples to "Query MARC". You'll want to use the ExtractValue function to use Xpath to query the MARCXML to find the problematic entries.

Hello all! After enabling search for non-Roman scripts in our instances, as detailed at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ICU_chains_configuration,
I needed to rebuild the index. Our production and test systems run Koha
22.05.10 on Debian 11. As the process was running, the following message was displayed 6 times:

"Use of uninitialized value $sub6 in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/Filter/MARC/Index880InZebra.pm line 77."

- What does this indicate? (I mean, beyond the obvious.)
- Is it something that we should track down and correct?
- How can we identify the bibliographic records that trigger the notice?
There are no log entries that I can find with details about the records causing the message.

Thank you in advance for your attention and help!
