Description

First of all, many thanks for maintaining this awesome project! 👍

I'm trying to migrate from a 1.4.x database version to 1.8.0. I've been able to slowly migrate my database from 1.4.x to 1.7.6 but as soon as I try 1.8.0, I always run into an error for the following migration routine: Migration[82]: hot fix for wrong release sha1 on release table. This eventually fails with the cryptic error ORM engine initialization failed: migrate: do migrate: no such file or directory. I tried running the latest Docker tag to see if #6387 fixes it but that fails with the same error.

See the Gist linked above for a full log.

Have you tried upgrading directly to 1.8.2?

Initially, yes. But I had a backup of the database and then tried incrementally upgrading to 1.7.6. The result was the same.

I've solved the mystery. My repository path changed and I misinterpreted the above error. Works fine for me now. 👍
