Hello everyone!
During a rebuild on a forum in the stable branch, I have an error related to the solved plugin.
Here are the logs:

./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem.
I managed to rebuild by deleting the solved plugin in the app.yml (using the - rm -rf discourse-solved command), and the owner of the forum could probably do without this plugin but I’d still like to fix this.
I don’t think the issue comes from the plugin, it may be a bad manipulation on the forum. But when I explore the database, I have at least 20-30 \N entries in value

I need to tell you that I suck at sql queries, especially via command lines. I don’t really trust myself to delete these lines via terminal.
But anyway, what route do you recommand for me to fix this? A query (what type of querie?) ? A script, or something can be done in the forum directly?
