I just ran into this same error using the auto-update to come up to 2.8.2. I was able to find this solution, but it did cost me about 1.5 hours of figuring out what was wrong. Not so bad in the grand scheme of things, but maybe the auto-update interface in the admin app could include some way of presenting a list of changes and/or known issues. It could just be a link to a pdf version or something, downloaded on-demand from the repo. But having that link there (maybe with a warning to read it) will likely help folks like me to avoid a headache. It's not so much that I can't do the search on the list here before upgrading. It's that I didn't know there would be a reason to search for such discussions. Having that prominent placement of the changes/issues will also (I suspect) save you time helping people with questions like this one. But thanks for the time you do spend helping on this list. Your answer here saved me many more hours of frustration :)
