## Description

Hello!

tried to upgrade from gitea 1.12.3 to 1.13.1 according to the official documentation. updated immediately from 1.12.3 to 1.13. version. but after updating I get 502 http error code when accessing [mygiteadomain.com](http://mygiteadomain.com) home page

in the gitea logs iI see messages:

2021/01/04 19:39:35 … ations/migrations.go: 538: recreateTable () [E] Unable to rename IDX\_topic\_updated\_unix to IDX\_topic\_updated\_unix. Error: pq: relationship “IDX\_topic\_updated\_unix” does not exist

2021/01/04 19:39:35 … ations/migrations.go: 382: recreateTable () [E] Unable to create table tmp\_recreate\_\_repo\_topic. Error: pq: current transaction aborted, commands until the end of the transaction block are ignored

I have another gitea build with similar settings and characteristics. on this assembly from version 1.12.3 to 1.13.1 I updated without problems

What can be wrong?

No idea.

I did the normal upgrades:

1.12.3 -\> 1.12.4 -\> 1.12.5 -\> 1.12.6 -\> 1.13.0 -\> 1.13.1

without any problems. Perhaps they removed some stuff in one version?
