This is a follow-on to the thread titled: "Re: [Freeipa-users] FreeIP
4.12.5-2-fc42 missing dse.ldif"
After dsctl was updated to guard against the double close of the bdb source
database, I now get the following error when trying to start IPA.
```
# ipactl start
IPA version error: data needs to be upgraded (expected version '4.12.5-3.fc43',
current version '4.12.5-3.fc42')
Automatically running upgrade, for details see /var/log/ipaupgrade.log
Be patient, this may take a few minutes.
Automatic upgrade failed: DN: cn=Schema Compatibility,cn=plugins,cn=config does
not exists or haven't been updated
Upgrade failed with ''
DN: cn=Schema Compatibility,cn=plugins,cn=config does not exists or haven't
been updated
IPA server upgrade failed: Inspect /var/log/ipaupgrade.log and run command
ipa-server-upgrade manually.
('IPA upgrade failed.', 1)
The ipa-server-upgrade command failed. See /var/log/ipaupgrade.log for more
information
See the upgrade log for more details and/or run /usr/sbin/ipa-server-upgrade
again
Aborting ipactl
```
I had to manually touch empty files in
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-IPA-EXAMPLE-COM/ldif/ to get dsctl to complete
correctly(ish): __dblib-changelog.ldif, __dblib-ipaca.ldif and
__dblib-userroot.ldif. Nothing was actually written into any of these file, but
with them extant it did complete without error.
I'm still receiving this error now, with the latest versions of all F43 updates
code:
```
2025-12-15T20:30:35Z ERROR Upgrade failed with ''
2025-12-15T20:30:35Z ERROR DN: cn=Schema Compatibility,cn=plugins,cn=config
does not exists or haven't been updated
2025-12-15T20:30:35Z ERROR IPA server upgrade failed: Inspect
/var/log/ipaupgrade.log and run command ipa-server-upgrade manually.
```Of course, the only reference I can see to this error was a fix 7 years ago.
How do I get my IPA back online?
Best regards,
Eric
