Indeed. Would you suggest updating version by version to avoid problems? 
I thought that it shouldn't be a big deal upgrading in one step.

Yes, did that. Even upgraded all extensions that can be upgraded.

I found out that there are more errors in my installation.
E.g.

1) The page tree. Nothing happens when I hit the (+). Folding seems to 
be disabled. JavaScript Firebug says: Tree is not defnied.

2) There a a lot of JavaScript errors:


Tree is not defined
 Tree.highlightClass = "active";
alt_db_n...ayout.php (line 29)


DragDrop is not defined
 if (Prototype.Browser.IE) {
db_layout.php (line 39)


Tree is not defined
 Tree.highlightActiveItem("",top.fsMod.navFrameHighlightedID["web"]);
alt_db_n...ayout.php (line 116)


Prototype is not defined
 if (Prototype.Browser.IE) {
db_layout.php (line 39)


DragDrop is not defined
 if (Prototype.Browser.IE) {
db_layout.php (line 39)
