Well so far I've tried downloading the 5.15 and 3.4.9 versions but they don't "see" my database either. Might have to try and see if I can make my old version run (I have the old drives from my dead PC) and see if it will export to a format that the new(er) versions can read.

Subject: Re: [Gramps-users] Upgrading (?) gramps and old database? OK, gave it a try but my databases are VERY old and are *.gpkg files. Gramps AIO64-6.0.6--1 is failing to recognise them. I'm going to do a little digging but it someone already knows how to convert/import 😉.

Not had a chance to try yet. Hopefully this weekend. Paul DS. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Merchant <pet...@ho...> Sent: 03 February 2026 14:15 To: gra...@li... Subject: Re: [Gramps-users] Upgrading (?) gramps and old database? Did it go smoothly? I have been unable to upgrade gramps to Vn 6.0.6-1 due to dependency problems. I might try it on the Zorin PC.
