Yes, just run arbtt-recover, usually you lose only a few bytes (it will tell you so), and you can then move the recovered file (it will tell you the name) over the original one.

To run arbtt-recover on a separate file, use -i and -o. See http://arbtt.nomeata.de/doc/users_guide/arbtt-recover.html.

Hello,

I just got the same problem, and while I found the answer in an old mailing list before finding this issue, I think it’s worth improving the error message with the existence of “arbtt-recover” and the possibility to then overwrite the capture log. Maybe it could be run automatically too, if there is no better alternative anyway..?
