I'm trying to follow the upgrade sequence from 4.6.5. Note that I've got mysql 3.23.58 due to Red Hat.

All goes well until I go to run update.php. It prints one warning about adding a column to watchdog, and reports running exactly one script. Afterwards, 4.7.2 is hopelessly broken. No surprise, there.

Is mysql 3 still supported for 4.7.x? Is there some other possible explanation for this?

Copying my backups onto a machine with MySQL 4 at least results in the upgrade doing something.
