Well, I won't blame Google - after all it was my decision to not follow
official directions:-)

Looking back that is probably what I *should* have done, but I am not sure
I'm up for that now - I spent most of a day setting up the new database,
mostly because I wasn't satisfied with the old setup (non-standard
keybindings, bad tuner setup, flawed channel lists etc.). Going back would
require me to do it all over again:-)

I already did reconfigure the entire setup and according to the links I
would need to do some preparation on the old setup - obviously not possible
now that the system is already upgraded:-(

Guess I will have a closer look at the tables while I consider the
"complete restore" option:-(
