Anybody have an idea what to do next?

Installing a new instance from the next "release" is not an option, as there is quite of lot of data in the db. Inserting the existing database in a new instance seems impossible. So that means we hava a broken instance, with no means to export data.

My guess is that "upgrading" went wrong (trackback was instead installed twice), upgrading the package lars-blogger also went wrong.
It seems it is impossible to really cleanly remove a package and after that reinstall it.

I wonder when it is wise to actually use OpenACS. Which release would be mature enough? 5.1? And after that not upgrading any packages would probably be the best option.

the message about category_tree_map probably means the
categories package is not installed (lars-blogger
now requires this but did not in older versions).
