= Frequently asked questions =
== bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock (remote lock) ==
This can happen when cancelling during a commit, and probably in other situations too. You will get the error the next time your are attempting to commit.
 
Search terms: bzr unlock, Bazaar locked, Bazaar unlock
 
Solution: open the command line console (eg. cmd.exe), and change into the directory of your branch, and run:
bzr break-lock
 
== bzr: ERROR: paramiko.SSHException: lost ssh-agent ==
If you get such an error on Windows 7 64-bit then try to run pageant not as Administrator but as normal user.
 
== Could not open a connection to your authentication agent ==
If you get such an error then please have a look [http://forum.slicehost.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=3385 here] or [http://www.finrik.at/content/sshadd-could-not-open-connection-your-authentication-agent here]
 
== bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(...): Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir() ==
On getting such an error you've probably been trying to use something like lp:~username instead of bzr+ssh://
 
Solution1: Make sure you have pageant running (not as admin) and a key loaded.
 
Solution2: Execute "bzr launchpad-login <username>" on a command line.
 
Solution3: Perhaps you reinstalled your system. Then you need to create a new public/private-keypair. Possibly you need to execute bzr checkout ... afterwards to apply the new key.
 
== bzr: ERROR: Failed to rename ... to ...: [Error 5] Access denied ==
If you get such en error on checking out a branch then please disable your antivirus program, delete the .bzr-folder from your local branch and try again. See [https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+question/133362 here] for further information.
 
== bzr: ERROR: Could not understand response from smart server ==
* see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/1046265
* This happens with Bazaar 2.5.1, and Bazaar Explorer 1.2.2
* seems the solution is to install Bazaar 2.4.1 instead, which comes with Bazaar Explorer 1.2.1
