Andreas, can you test this with an old database on WS1.

I tested updating of the attached (cdm_production_caryophyllales_2018-11-16.sql.bz2) database on ws1 and it failed due to a class cast exception. This is another error than that reported here. PLease try your self and decide how to handle this:

ahh, good you found this. It is actually not a problem of the update script but of the term loader which was introduced by 749a2e199d for #9477 . The term loading for newly introduced unordered terms did not work anymore. This should be fixed now. Can you try again. I already tested successful with the local DB dump.

definitely fixed, can be closed
