it doesn't look like that :-(

I'm fairly sure that there were no obvious issues when using the
distribution wizard last time (so much nicer then it used to be). When
I tried an update to 8.4.4, there were some merge conflicts, and on
each of them I chose to not merge and not keep the old.

The screengrabs in the links were taken after I had upgraded to 8.4.4,
I have since reverted it to the (offline) snapshot of the database
server and xwiki server I took before the upgrade (the joy of
virtualisation :-)

Should I try importing the 8.4.1 admin .war and see if that fixes it ?
or is there a different course you would suggest ?

Cheers

Arne
