The upgrade issues and step-by-step instructions to recover are  
documented in the NEWS, the README, and (assuming my MR gets reviewed) 
will be mentioned in the release notes too.

The upstream upgrade notes also recommend migrating to back_mdb before 
beginning an upgrade to 2.5.

It sounds like you looked for documentation but didn't find it. Where 
were you expecting to find it?

Thanks
