   If you restart a non pruned full node with -prune=550 (to enable pruning), while having a wallet which is not in sync (maybe you copied it), the node will first prune, than complain about a impossible rescan (see below). IMO before pruning all old blocks, the node should firs try to sync the wallet.

   Fix pushed. It’s a bit of an edge case, but I imagine it’s really annoying.
