[Pkg-cacti-maint] Bug#1129524: cacti: Migration problem when upgrading from cacti very old cacti version 0.8.8c

[Michal Procházka]

Package: cacti
Version: 1.2.30+ds1-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I was migrating a very old Cacti server to a new one. The upgrade
process stopped at version 1.0.4 and then failed with a database
migration error. The issue was caused by a bug in the migration file for
version 1.0.5. The related GitHub issue is:
https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/issues/5527
.

After replacing the distribution migration file with the upstream
version (1_0_5.php), the migration completed successfully and the Cacti
upgrade finished without problems.

It looks like the migration file in the package needs to be synchronized
with the upstream version.
