Failed to import DAG: Unexpected upload type

[alanshaw]

With daemon running I get the following error:

ipfs dag import test.car
importing from test.car...
Failed to import DAG: Unexpected upload type

Without daemon running I get a CID back that is not the root CID in the CAR file:

➜ ipfs dag import ./test.car
importing from ./test.car...
pinned root	zdj7WW3mdMLKDE2ebEb1u4XMW5QR6b9fuDJdtRTYJCWTJD3X4	success

➜ ipfs-car --list-roots ./test.car

Without daemon running I get a CID back that is not the root CID in the CAR file:

The CIDs are the same, the first is a CIDv1 in base58btc, the second is CIDv1 in base32.

$ jsipfs cid base32 zdj7WW3mdMLKDE2ebEb1u4XMW5QR6b9fuDJdtRTYJCWTJD3X4

If you run the same command with the --cid-base flag you should see the same as ipfs-car, which appears to use different defaults:

$ ipfs dag import ./test.car --cid-base base32
importing from /Users/alex/Downloads/test.car...
