Hmmm this could potentially be because I kept the snapshots from a previous sync, and did not delete/remove the db folder within the snapshots folder...?

Edit: tried again with that db folder deleted, no change. Will try again without snapshots directory.

Edit2: Started downloading snapshots, then I restarted it during that process and same error

Looks like duplicate of #5068

Fixed in #5070

Had a similar problem, seems to be fixed running the development branch
