`restic check` reports packs that aren't referenced in any index, is my repository broken?
|

When `restic check` reports that there are pack files in the repository that are not referenced in any index, that's (in contrast to what restic reports at the moment) not a source for concern. The output looks like this:
|
|
|
|
$ restic check
|
|
Create exclusive lock for repository
|
|
Load indexes
|
|
Check all packs
|

Fatal: repository contains errors

The message means that there is more data stored in the repo than strictly necessary. With high probability this is duplicate data. In order to clean it up, the command `restic prune` can be used. The cause of this bug is not yet known.
