Can't Upgrade DB from 4.4.6 to 4.5.0

1

We are trying to upgrade version from 4.4.4 to 5.0.3. We made a clean install of code, imported the old db (rt4) into rt5 db, but, when I try to run make upgrade-database to upgrade database, it shows an error in 4.5.0 step:

Enter RT version you’re upgrading from: 4.4.6

Going to apply following upgrades:

  • 4.5.0
  • 4.5.1
  • 4.5.2
  • 4.5.3
  • 4.5.4
  • 4.5.5
  • 4.5.6
  • 4.5.7
  • 4.5.8
  • 5.0.2
  • 5.0.3

Enter RT version if you want to stop upgrade at some point,
or leave it blank if you want apply above upgrades: 4.5.0

Going to apply following upgrades:

  • 4.5.0

IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP BEFORE THIS STEP

Proceed [y/N]:y
Processing 4.5.0
Now populating database schema.

Any idea what migt be wrong and what can we do?

Seems like that column is already deleted, I’d say just skip 4.5.0 since that is all that upgrade step does
