"incorrect passphrase or corrupt statefile" on first use

When i run bin/client the first time i a gui with a passphrase form, and whether i enter anything in there or not I get an message "incorrect passphrase or corrupt statefile".

This is the first time I have run pond, so it would make sense that there would be no statefile yet...
so surely i need to initialize that statefile with a chosen password.

If no statefile exists, then Pond creates your initial statefile at ~/.config/pond on Linux or ~/.pond on Mac OS X. Any chance you've another file in that location?

There is a file there... Hmm, foggy memories of trying to run pond another time are emerging...

Okay I managed to remember my password to that old installation.

This is probably a pretty obscure bug. If the dialog had indicated that there was a file present I probably would have figured it out.

I'm gonna close this anyway.
