[horde] Upgrading from Groupware 1.0.8 to 1.2.3

[Chris Funk]

I applied the patch you provided.  Unfortunately, all it offers is  
that it cannot find the Validate package.

____________________ Start Script Output Exerpt _________________

Writing main configuration file
Loading database module...
Updating database...
[ ERROR! ] Reading the existing table structure failed. Error messages:
MDB2 Error: not found
unable to find package 'MDB2_Schema_Validate' file 'MDB2/Schema/Validate.php'

Running post-update scripts...
scripts/upgrades/convert_datatree_groups_to_sql.php
____________________ End Script Output Exerpt _________________

We are using MySQL 5.0.45.

I verified that the Validate.php file does exist in the horde installation:

$ ls pear/MDB2/Schema/
Parser2.php  Parser.php  Reserved/  Tool/  Tool.php  Validate.php  Writer.php


Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

This could only happen if loading the MDB2 Manager module fails.
Unfortunately we don't catch this, try to apply this patch and see if
you get a meaningful error message:
http://cvs.horde.org/diff.php/horde/scripts/upgrades/2008-08-29_fix_mdb2_sequences.php?rt=horde&r1=1.1.2.5&r2=1.1.2.6&ty=u

Maybe this is related to the other error below.
Which database system do you use?

The file is definitely there, in horde/pear/MDB2/Schema/Validate.php.
