      I did an upgrade from 1.2.3 to the snap of yesterday, which resulted in a complete inoperable box. :(
      So i decided to install from scratch, which worked.
      But when i tried to restore my previous saved 1.2.3 config i got the same as before: a dead box. Only new install revived it.

      ok, so i installed newly and tried to restore step by step.
      Restoring aliases worked fine, but all other restores resulted in - nothing!
      I got messages from my browser stating a broken connection, a reload reloaded the backup/restore-page with nothing done. No setting restored. :(
      Again trying to restore the complete config: had to do a new install.

      Next big issue is that no DHCP-lease on lan is showed in Status - DHCP-leases. So i'm not even able to see any of the connected PCs nor add them to static entries. Very weird.
      I did an update today with no change.

      When i put in a static entry even arp-table shows nothing more. Before i could see my connected PCs, but after entering the first static mapping it was gone.

      Looking at my gateways tells me: nothing. The dashboard-widget is empty. At System -routing i had to edit and make wan default gateway, but afterwards the widget still shows nothing. Status - Gatewasy is empty too.

      Is there anything i could do wrong here? Internet-connection works, Diagnostic - Routing tables shows there IS a gateway entry.

          I sent you this via e-mail, but I figured I'd update the thread so others would know:

          Somehow you had an invalid/incompete (but disabled) config for RFC 2136 Dynamic DNS updates. The upgrade code for that was apparently very broken, and it caused the config upgrade to bomb/fail.

          I fixed the upgrade code and on a test VM your config upgrades properly now.

          Wait for the next snapshot or two and then give it another try.
