tl;dr: I'm attempting to upgrade from RT 3.6.4 to RT 4.2.9. After running make upgrade-database I get the following errors to pretty much every command:

Long form: I'm using the following command to copy the existing database from the production server to the test server: pg_dump -U apache rt3 > rt3.sql I then copy rt3.sql to the test server and do the following steps to upgrade: # delete old database on chum: sudo -u postgres psql drop database rt4; \q # create empty database sudo rm -rf /var/pkgs/rt/var/*/* sudo /usr/nikola/pkgs/rt/sbin/rt-setup-database --action create,acl (I note that when I run rt-setup-database I get the following warnings: [3943] [Tue Feb 17 16:44:34 2015] [warning]: DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: relation "attachments_id_seq" does not exist at /afs/ee.washington.edu/nikola/.@sys/pkgs/rt/.4.2.9/sbin/../lib/RT/Handle.pm line 452, <STDIN> line 1.
