Jenkins update (from Hudson) on Debian broke my installation

[Fabio]

I made an hudson installation some months ago on a clean Debian system
using the provided package. Today I upgraded to the latest jenkins
version and now I can't use this tool anymore. I still have all the
old files, workspaces, etc, but when I access the home page I obtain
an exception. I have no idea on how to solve this.

Any help.

P.s. If I run jenkins from command line with java -jar /usr/share/
jenkins/jenkins.war it works but I have no data inside it.

This is the transcript of the upgrade

Hi Fabio,

Maybe your plugin com.thalesgroup.hudson.plugins.xunit is no more
compatible with the new version
Try to manually upgrade or disable this plugin.

Regards,

Vincent

Thanks for your answer, with that hint I solved in this way:

- I removed the xunit plugin with
cd /var/lib/jenkins/plugins && mv xunit* /tmp

- I restarted jenkins and this time it starts with just some warnings
about old format data
- Updatated all the plugin with the jenkins web gui
- Reinstalled the new version of the xunit plugin using the web gui

Now I have a working jenkins installation with all my old data (jobs,
builds, configurations)

Thank you.

There was a method we added in the base class that unfortunately
collided with xUnit.

I've improved the error diagnosis in 1.406 to detect this more gracefully.
