===================================================

I thanked them and replied

"Thanks for this information. I haven't diagnosed or fixed a corrupted repository before.

Yes instructions are welcome. Will work on that and report back.

Also please note that the original file is separately available at
http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/x3d-3.1.profileCroatian.xml

p.s. Not sure that I have authorities to disable virus checking on my system. In any case the identical problem was reported independently on separate systems by three different people."
===================================================

Hopefully they can resolve, that seems like safest approach.

If not... has anyone else?  (Sounds like a job for RTFM and StackOverflow).

As noted before, another fallback is simply deleting the offending file x3d-3.1-profileCroatian.xml (which is a placeholder anyway).

This should not be a blocker for anyone, workaround is simply to separately update other files/directories/trees.

all the best, Don
