Re: Direct upgrade from Version 5.1.6 to 5.2.2

 Asked how to find the Package Maintainer to report this on the Discourse forum:

 1) Installing from the ecsos repo requires python311-bsddb3which I cannot find anywhere. The installation fails.2)The Tumbleweed installation complains of a gramps-lang mismatch and proposes to download gramps from the ecsos repo.After accepting the proposed download from ecsos repo, the installation goes to a 'successful' conclusion. The gramps installationreveals installed versions gramps 5.2.2-1.1
gramps-lang 5.2.2-lp156.1.1.and gramps does not start.
I reverted to gramps 5.1.6, so the above is reported from memory.

Please expand on "Neither work properly (yet?)"
Does the install package fail? (If so, with what symptoms?)
Or does Gramps 5.2.2 misbehave? (If so, with what symptoms?)

I have had different problems attempting to upgrade to 5.2.2. I have tried packages from both Tumbleweed and ecsos repositories- Neither work properly (yet?).
