lnd: [bug]: updatechanpolicy error: "channel from self node has no policy"

Background

For my testnet node, when doing a updatechanpolicy, I get an error:

# lncli updatechanpolicy --base_fee_msat 0 --fee_rate_ppm 50 --time_lock_delta 69
[lncli] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = channel from self node has no policy

Nah, chantools is not installed on this machine (yet? 😉 )

note added: abandonchannel is a dangerous command and can lead to loss of funds if used incorrectly - ask in our slack channel if unsure

# lncli abandonchannel --chan_point 2a846144a9375ee97880e75f99fdc8189f30d74a2117df5d30c45647dddd0abd:0 --i_know_what_i_am_doing 
[lncli] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = unable to find closed channel summary

Not sure what to do now 😃
