Broken views, due to upgrading non view/cck modules?
I have recently upgraded our muli site installation from 5.7-5.12 with no obvious problems. I also upgraded the CCK modules and only had the views display items in reverse order and without the image. I continued and upgraded other modules including: account_reminder, advuser, biblio, filefield, google_analytics, il8n, location, nicemenus, panel, pathauto, emailfeild, print, simplenews, site_user_list, swftools, syndication, update_status, and token.
Now my front page views do not show up. I'm wondering if this has to do with running the update script and having old defaults restored, or a module affecting the views? The other possibility is because they operate with a view override, but I didn't change anything in the theme so I am eliminating that possibility. The second time I updated I got the following warning:
user warning: Can't DROP 'name_2'; check that column/key exists query: ALTER TABLE sesn_panels_mini DROP INDEX name_2 in path/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 174.
I don't think this is related to the views though because they were broken before I ran the second update. (I updated modules in between the update script). For now I'm going to disable them and re enable them one at a time.
Thanks for any input!

I recently updated a fairly large site to 5.12 and didn't have this issue. Did you check your views settings? do you actually have a front page view, or just publish specific things to the front page?

Panels
Thanks Mark,
It turns out that I diagnosed the problem incorrectly. It turns out the views are working but the nodes in the panel are not. What happens is that if I edit one of the nodes the other two automatically change and duplicate the first one. This is the case for the other two as well. I tried to administer them in the panels but could not find anything weird, the specif nodes of interest all still have there correct names, but don't actually display these names. The other weird thing is that the old one that is suppose to be there still exists under its specific URL. I presume there is some where to specify the display of these nodes, but I don't understand the panels enough to find it? I'm going to read up on them and I'm going to try to delete one and recreate it.
Thanks
Phil
panels - yuk
I've decided that this panel structure is lame and I'm going to redo it using views.
