nodebb upgrade error

[Peter-Zoltan Keresztes]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my nodebb installation to v0.5.5. When I am running ./nodebb upgrade I get the following output with lots of errors.

root@vpsieprod:/nodebb# git checkout v0.5.5
HEAD is now at d6c17d5... 0.5.5

NodeBB Dependencies up-to-date!

Please let me know how can I fix it?

Remove the halloween theme. Probably not compatible.

npm rm nodebb-theme-halloween

[Peter-Zoltan Keresztes]

Thanks, that solved the issue, I could upgrade with no errors.

Yes, nice catch @a_5mith. Incompatible themes requiring outdated versions of the vanilla theme often cause npm to abort. It's not a pretty sight
