RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found

RMAN hot backup fails with the following error message:

RMAN>backup full database plus archivelog delete input;


RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 05/30/2013 14:57:23
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability
ORA-19625: error identifying file /TNXAMAES/RMAN/arc/RMAN1_1_816783266.arc
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3

This is because I've manually deleted this file from the host, but RMAN metadata has still information about this file. The correct thing to do is to follow up the delete with the below RMAN command:

RMAN> delete expired archivelog all;

released channel: ORA_DISK_1
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=266 device type=DISK
