[Koha-devel] 3.6.1 upgrade to 3.8.5 and bug 8071

[Paul]

In my continuing quest to upgrade 3.6.1 to 3.8.x without loss of 
functionality (specifically authorities, generally zebra) I have now 
upgraded my sandbox (db fully synchronized with the production box) to 
3.8.5 along the lines of "bug 8071	blocker" ... however in 3.8.5:

  Results 1 to 20 of 424
Summary 	Used in 	Delete
World War, 1914-1918 	Details 	0 biblio(s) 	Delete
World War, 1914-1918 Aerial operations. 	Details 	0 biblio(s) 	Delete
/ ... /

in 3.6.1:

World War, 1914-1918 	Details 	5 biblio(s)
World War, 1914-1918 Aerial operations.	 Details 	16 biblio(s)
/ ... /

So, are authorities during the upgrade still broken? Is it my db?

I did do a "test" during the upgrade:

paul at server:/koha-3.08.05$ sudo make test
/ ... /
Test Summary Report

make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255

but decided (despite that) to try:

paul at server:/koha-3.08.05$ sudo make upgrade
No errors reported

 From web interface:
Update report :

     Please check, and fix it if necessary.Upgrade to 3.08.05.000 (3.8.5

So ... is 3.8.x repairable?

What am I missing?
