Description

When logged in, at [[commons:File:Skyburial.JPG]] (yummy!), the preview image and the links for 800 × 600 pixels, 640 × 480 pixels, 1,024 × 768 pixels, and 1,280 × 960 pixels work fine.

The link "Original file" (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Skyburial.JPG) gives:

404 Not Found

The resource could not be found.

File not found: /v1/AUTH_mw/wikipedia-commons-local-public.6b/6/6b/Skyburial.JPG

The link for 320 × 240 pixels (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Skyburial.JPG/320px-Skyburial.JPG) gives:

Error generating thumbnail

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

For contrast, at [[commons:File:Sur burial mounds.jpg]], all links work fine.

Looks like the file was deleted and restored. I wonder if it's still in the archive (e.g. can be deleted/restored again).

can't find it in the deleted container

root@ms-fe1001:~# swift list wikipedia-commons-local-deleted.6b | grep -i 6bcb70ac391dd09ff012b78fceb7922c

Seems like the same issue as bug 70556 (although the files there have not been deleted+restored, and for some of them even the 800px thumbnail is missing).

Other examples of affected files that have been deleted and restored:

The file was reuploaded, so that link now works, but the old version is missing. Not sure what can be done here.

Yes, I think we might as well close this task.
