Might be related: #4952. If you weren't setting up private network then it's a different issue.

Would it be a problem for you to share the ipfs repo (~/.ipfs)? Note that sharing it will expose some keys, so you'll have to remove and re-init it.

Nope, I wasn't trying the private net.
Here is the link to my repo.

You have empty swarm.key in your repo, which is for private net setup. Removing this file should fix the issue. #4952 will provide a better error message. Do you have any idea for how the file might have gotten there?

[vasa-develop]

Thanks, it worked, didn't notice when the swarm.key came into the repo. Just the change I did was that I updated the version(from 0.4.13 to 0.4.14) of ipfs by building from source, while there existed a different version already.
