Topic on Talk:Release notes/1.23
The problem is caused by the install being from a tarball while the patch is based on an installation from Git. Files for testing purposes aren't included in the tarball, but patch tries to change one of them, which is why it fails. The upgrade from 1.23.3 to 1.23.4 is successful despite breaking out of it at the error with Ctrl-C. It's only the missing file that gets skipped. See bug 71379
We are currently working on this issue. In the future, changes to the tests directory should not be included in the released patches. I made a respective comment in bugzilla. Thanks for finding this.
