Versions: MediaWiki: 1.18.3 PHP: 5.2.17 MySQL: 5.1.39 User Merge and Delete: 1.6.31 When attempting to merge/delete a users who was blocked for spamming, I got the following error: A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "DatabaseBase::update". Database returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'Spammer-2-0-0' for key 'ipb_address' (db.camera-wiki.org)". Work-around: unblocking the user prior to using merge/delete solves the problem until the bug can be fixed. Additional info: Our wiki has an account called "Spammer" into which we merge/delete all spammers. This process worked great up until MediaWiki 1.18 at which point we started getting numerous SQL errors during the process. We have already applied the ipb_id to ipb_user change to fix a previous SQL bug.

It seems like ipb_address should be a unique field.

We are currently getting an error "1062: Duplicate entry" when trying to merge *anything* (at least that's what it looks like). A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: UPDATE `ipblocks` SET ipb_user = '43742',ipb_address = 'XXXXXXXXXX' WHERE ipb_user = '43743' from within function "UserMerge::mergeUser". Database returned error "1062: Duplicate entry 'XXXXXXXXXX-43742-0-0' for key 'ipb_address' (localhost)". So it's trying to set an ID that's already in-use. Manually inspecting the database shows that indeed both IDs are still in-use. Any clue on why the previous row was not deleted (I am assuming that's what should have been done)? More importantly, why did it not error out when the deletion fail? Box: MediaWiki 1.21.3 PHP 5.4.17 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.5.32 User Merge and Delete 1.8.1 (4fd1c08) Any suggestions?

I am not familiar with how long bugs like this take to get resolved. Is there an ETA or a guess at when this will be resolved? Thanks to all of you who work on stuff like this!
Basically until somebody has reviewed and merged https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/160872/ and there is no review so far... This pretty much depends on individuals and when they find time to do so.
