upgrade problem with 1.7.3 to 1.8

I've been trying to complete this upgrade and keep running into issues. A recap of my latest issue of the day follows. Did a 'git clone https://github.com/osTicket/osTicket-1.8 .', disabled the ldap plugin (bc this breaks auth after every upgrade attempt), copy over the files from the git cloned 1.8 source code, loaded up the upgrader, clicked 'Upgrade Now!', get this:

@alienzrcoming are you able to continue the ugprade after this bug? This should be fixed, but should not prevent the upgrade from completing if manually continued.

was unable to continue. i was unaware of any manual steps to take after this point. i finally gave up on 1.8 and was able to successfully upgrade to 1.9 after finding that it was listed as the new stable.

Interesting. I've seen this before. Maybe the bug is specific to 1.8.x?
