Please describe the problem.
I have tried to use the assistant as per archival walkthrough. I have
- Created a client drive locally
- Created a small archive on an attached drive
- Created and archive folder on the user drive
- Moved files into the user drive and then into the archive
I very soon saw the assistant fail with errors all referencing fd:50: hPutStr: illegal operation (handle is closed).
As a result, transactions and syncs were often incomplete and I had to use git and git annex commands to fix things up. The behaviour I had expected based on the documentation - automated archival of files moved to the archive directory - never worked.
I upgraded to the PPA that is offering the latest builds but have seen no change.
I ran the built-in self-test and saw 74 failed tests.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I do not have the time to produce a repeatable test suite.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Latest from PPA on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS current to-the-day.
Please provide any additional information below.

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
No. But I was very enthusiastic about the theory behind it.
