This is the write-cap and the read-cap respectively to the same dir:

$ tahoe ls --node-url=http://127.0.0.1:3456 URI:DIR2:77mdr6nhhzqo22lvviojxbqooy:dkkrzum2rynr2sxunwn5n7arusmuxw3m27k3f4yo2t67rqzz6xiaa


This listing included unknown objects. Using a webapi server that supports
a later version of Tahoe may help.

The write cap ends with 'xiaa', the read cap with 'xia'. Presumably the latter is correct.

Probably we should assume that future caps don't start with known prefixes (in this case URI:DIR2:), so that we could print a more sensible message.

Also, an unknown directory doesn't include unknown objects, it is an unknown object. So the message could be improved in any case.

Also, an unknown directory doesn't *include* unknown objects, it *is* an unknown object. So the message could be improved in any case.

zooko changed title from ~~tahoe ls with dir-write-cap fails mysteriously, with dir-read-cap works~~ to error message for corrupted caps to {{{tahoe ls}}} is unclear
