I am really not sure if this is a bug. If you do the install again, dbconfig
asks you again for upgrading the database and if you hit yes the same update
is applied to the database. This of course fails.

I added the dbconfig maintaner to Cc, Sean what do you think is this a bug
and how should it addressed?
