Consistent carbon error in Ubuntu 13.10, graphite 0.9.12

Make sure Whisper, Carbon and Graphite-Web are all the same version. This
strikes me as an issue that could occur if you upgraded Graphite + Carbon
but not Whisper.

Thank you for the reply Brian.

I've confirmed, using dpkg, the versions are correct:

$ dpkg -l | grep whisper
ii python-whisper 0.9.12-1 all database engine for fast, reliable fixed-sized databases
$ dpkg -l | grep graphite
ii graphite-carbon 0.9.12-1 all backend data caching and persistence daemon for Graphite
ii graphite-web 0.9.12+debian-1 all Enterprise Scalable Realtime Graphing

To be in the safe side I reinstalled python-whisper and restarted carbon-cache, same issue.

Some questions:
- At launchpad.net the latest version is 0.9.10, not 0.9.12. Which is correct?
- If I want to do a full reinstall of graphite, apart from removing the packages, how do I completely delete the data/whisper files?

Thanks!
