The bug

update or delete on table "asset" violates foreign key constraint "stack_primaryAssetId_fkey" on table "stack"

Just installed 231, created admin and uploaded a few images manually. All looked good.

Im now importing using immich-go and i get errors in log

immich-go upload from-google-photos --server=http://localhost:2283 --api-key=xxxxx --concurrent-tasks=4 --client-timeout=60m --pause-immich-jobs=true --on-errors=continue --session-tag --include-unmatched --include-archived --include-untitled-albums /media/jesperordrup/USB\ 4TB/rclone/dropbox/extract/Takeout/Google\ Fotos/

it has uploaded< 4000 images. Its still uploading as I write this so I dont know if the error doesnt matter
