Hi,
I'm having the same issue, so here you go:

Setting verbosity to 255
commandconf():@@include /opt/aide/aide.conf

1:@@include
7:gzip_dbout =
9:@@define DBDIR /opt/aide
10:database_out =
do_dbdef (2) called with (file:/opt/aide/aide.db.out)
Output database set to "file:/opt/aide/aide.db.out" "/opt/aide/aide.db.out"
11:database_new =
do_dbdef (4) called with (file:/opt/aide/aide.db.new)
12:database =
do_dbdef (1) called with (file:/opt/aide/aide.db)
26:Equrule
29:Equrule
[...] (more of those, nothing informative after this though)

Lastly, this is the generated mail:

db_init 2
Opening file "/opt/aide/aide.db.out" for w+
Opened file "/opt/aide/aide.db.out" with fd=3
db_out is nonnull /opt/aide/aide.db.out

Got Gzip header. Handling..
First character after gzip header is: @(0X40)

decode base64
 name 
Database does not have attr field.
Comparation may be incorrect
Generating attr-field from dbspec
It might be a good Idea to regenerate databases. Sorry.
db_char2line():Error while reading database

>Are you in fact using the debian package
>of aide? If so, please read the documentation in /usr/share/doc/aide/

Using ubuntu here, where you referring to the NEWS.Debian.gz file about the
addition of whirlpool? because theres no actual documentation in that folder and
the aforementioned error also occurs when trying to update the database.

We're also talking about a fresh aide installation here, so having an "old"
database seems very unlikely.

Thanks in advance.
