Hello Koha my old friend,
I've come to upgrade you again.
After midnight while the users sleep.
Into the server room I'll slowly creep.
And the letters of the password
Are written on a post-it note
It's "billygoat".
It's time to do the upgrade.
Hello everybody, and especially Mason James who provided a lot of help including some tips I found in the list archives. It took a little longer than I thought it would, mostly because I made frequent backups and made sure everything worked on a scratchmonkey before I tried it on our production. If anyone is interested in how I did it, the steps are below. Please note the significance of "how I did it" in the preceding sentence. There's probably a far, far more sensible way.

Ubuntu 18.04.5, Koha 20.11.04.000
#echo 'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 21.05 main bionic' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade
48 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
#apt-get update
The following packages have been kept back:
koha-common libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl libjson-validator-perl libmojolicious-perl ubuntu-advantage-
tools
#apt-get install libmojolicious-perl
(installs)
#apt-get install libjson-validator-perl
(installs)
!at this point, koha-common could be upgraded
#apt-get install ubuntu-advantage-tools
(installs)
#apt-get install libmojolicious-plugin-openapi-perl
(installs)
# apt-get upgrade
The following packages will be upgraded:
koha-common
# y
(Koha version: 21.05.07.000)
# do-release-upgrade
(chose default options, or “y”)
(rebooted)
(can't connect to server)
# apt autoremove
(lots of files removed)
# pico /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list
(changed bionic to focal)
# init 6
# apt-get install koha-common
(koha-common installs)
(connect to server, go to About Koha page)
(Zebra server seems not to be available. Is it started?)
# init 6
(Zebra is running)
[during one upgrade I got this message:]
(There is an error when trying to connect to the message broker (RabbitMQ))
(didn’t happen this time, but here's how I fixed it before)
# pico /etc/koha/koha-conf-site.xml.in
(change <message_broker> to
<message_broker>
<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<port>61613</port>
<username>guest</username>
<password>guest</password>
<vhost></vhost>
</message_broker>
# init 6
(Ended with Koha 21.05.07.000, Ubuntu 20.04)

hi Fred
if you are running an "older" version of debian/ubuntu, follow the info on section 2.1.2.3 here...
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_Debian__;!!D7IIWT94AA!t4Un0QseRgkGMFQ7i36ThoCqUEtW84JkXDN7V2xsZIZI3l0vHSK8kr007vUiJGkhDw$
2.1.2.3 Support for Koha on older versions of Debian/Ubuntu (Debian 8, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 16.04)
example...
$ echo 'deb https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://debian.koha-community.org/koha__;!!D7IIWT94AA!t4Un0QseRgkGMFQ7i36ThoCqUEtW84JkXDN7V2xsZIZI3l0vHSK8kr007vVUzXiejQ$ 21.05 main xenial' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list

I should have added that I'm running my instance on a Digital Ocean 64-bit cloud server, and I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, not 20.04 as I thought. Do you think it might be easier for me to set up a fresh instance and export everything from the old system with sqldump? It might be faster, but it would still leave a puzzle...
