I have tried to start an apparently crashed instance of ipa server

and got

ipactl start

Upgrade required: please run ipa-server-upgrade command

Aborting ipactl

ran ipa-server-upgrade which got to the following step, but no further

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: ---------------------------------------------

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: Final value after applying updates

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: dn: cn=selinux,dc=mmracks,dc=internal

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: objectClass:

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: nsContainer

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: top

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: cn:

ipa.ipaserver.install.ldapupdate.LDAPUpdate: DEBUG: selinux

the command is stuck and is not giving me any error.

Any advise as to why I am suddenly prompted to upgrade but even more importantly on how I should get past the above point in the upgrade?

thanks
