Hi, After a crash recovery and a second trial I must admit that I cannot upgrade our galaxy instance. I need some help... the facts: initial instance: $ hg head changeset: 8796:961ae35ba612 branch: stable tag: tip parent: 8794:1c7174911392 user: Nate Coraor <nate@bx.psu.edu> date: Fri Feb 08 11:23:04 2013 -0500 summary: Added tag release_2013.02.08 for changeset 1c7174911392 changeset: 8795:9fd7fe0c5712 parent: 8785:25bd9d387135 parent: 8794:1c7174911392 user: Nate Coraor <nate@bx.psu.edu> date: Fri Feb 08 11:22:54 2013 -0500 summary: merge from stable Then I pull the upgrade using mercurial and update the postgresql database as follows: $ hg pull pulling from https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-dist/ searching for changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 516 changesets with 1568 changes to 710 files (-1 heads) (run 'hg update' to get a working copy) galaxy@GED-Server:~/galaxy-dist$ hg update release_2013.04.01 merging lib/galaxy/web/form_builder.py merging tools/ngs_rna/tophat_wrapper.xml 750 files updated, 2 files merged, 433 files removed, 0 files unresolved galaxy@GED-Server:~/galaxy-dist$ hg branch stable galaxy@GED-Server:~/galaxy-dist$ sh manage_db.sh upgrade 110 -> 111...

I suspect that some new python eggs may cause my troubles...
