The server upgrade failed again, and additionally while I was trying it there was a power outage. The MUD was running on UPS so I had to shut it down - and the power company wasn't available until Tuesday morning - thus the extended delay.
At least now I think I have an idea as to what the problem might be doing the upgrade, so hopefully the next (and last for a while) time I will try it will go better.
