I run two PeerTube servers. One of them I upgraded earlier today. In peertube.log I got the Migrations finished after a few minutes, then I ran the migration script. No problems.
On my other server, which I upgraded an hour ago and restarted the service (twice), there’s no mention of migration at all in the log. And when I run « journalctl -u peertube -e » I get messages like this:

So, did something go wrong with my upgrade, and what should I do? Since the site seems to be working, I’ve refrained from restoring the old version.
