     It's possible that the database format has changed in recent Anope
releases.  I'll take a look at the most recent code, and make any changes
needed for the next release; if you can send me (privately) a copy of your
oper.db file, that would help as well.

     If I can find any obvious problems, I'll try to make a new release as
soon as possible, but as a temporary workaround, edit tools/convert-epona.c
and delete the line that reads "epona_load_oper(sourcedir);" (around line
657), then recompile and reinstall Services.
