@patrick-sébastien-coulombe why are you running as root/sudo? unsafe-perm shouldn't be necessary.

Anyways, I think that issue is fixed in this commit: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/29e3ab247d336220cdddd123fc8703a3a97b1013

So run git cherry-pick 29e3ab247d336220cdddd123fc8703a3a97b1013 to pull that fix in.

@patrick-sébastien-coulombe try running ./nodebb build (hopefully it'll complete successfully, if not show the errors here) then re-running the upgrade again.
