    [ltc08@box bitcoin]$ src/bitcoind -datadir=~/not/a/valid/path
    Error: Specified directory does not exist
    : Error initializing block database.
    
    Do you want to rebuild the block database now?
    

    Pull Request #2648 added what seems to be an unintended error message to this error condition. Not a big deal, but it would just be confusing to users as the actual error message is printed above the false prompt that actually isn't a prompt.

    Looks like this was fixed, I at least cannot reproduce this:

    $ ./bitcoind -testnet -datadir=/tmp/bla
    Error: Specified data directory "/tmp/bla" does not exist.
    $ ./bitcoind  -datadir=/tmp/bla
    Error: Specified data directory "/tmp/bla" does not exist.
