This is definitely a confusing situation, and I'm sorry it's cause you alarm. Hopefully with more information we can get to the bottom of exactly how it's happening, understand it, and prevent it from happening to you (and anyone else) again.

Thanks to all for your patience, summary of my "reproducible upgrade" is that under some | [perhaps] exceptional conditions 'cleanup_database.pl' does upgrade the Koha version. Under what might be called "normal" conditions, absolutely everything is as expected with no problems. You'll see from the notes below, that having a *koha owned* koha-3.08.10 at / prompts a version upgrade [the *Important Note* below.] There is no "verbosity" using -v with './cleanup_database.pl' Best - Paul Update 6 May: Logged in as user=koha, no tarred|untarred Koha installation files on this box koha@hardy:/$ cat /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log | grep KOHA_INSTALLED_VERSION KOHA_INSTALLED_VERSION=3.08.05.000 koha@hardy:/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs$ ./cleanup_database.pl --zebraqueue 1 -v Zebraqueue purge triggered for 1 days. 19847 records were deleted.
