1. Summarise the issue (what were doing, what went wrong?) If optimise --patch-index is used before any patches have been recorded, darcs fails: darcs: _darcs/inventories: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory) 2. What behaviour were you expecting instead? No failure! I was trying to setup my repo to use a patch index, when it was created. I imagine it's just a case of creating a present-but-empty patch index, if the inventory isn't present.

In fact, it is the optimize command itself that fails.
