Which command line did you use for upgrading?

Do you have the kolab-install.log available? If yes, please store it
in a safe place for later questions.

Can you post the output of the following command to this list?
ls -lrt /kolab/RPM/PKG
(if your mailer doesn't like long lines, you can drop the "l" or "-lrt")

Meanwhile a workaround could be to create your own "binary distribution"
and use that for upgrading:

Stop your running Kolab, mv /kolab /kolab-old, use install-kolab.sh to
compile a new installation from scratch.

su - kolab
cd RPM/PKG
ln -s /path/to/your/kolab/sources/*.src.rpm .
PLATTAG=`/kolab/lib/openpkg/shtool platform --type=binary`-kolab
/kolab/bin/openpkg index -r . -p "$PLATTAG" -o 00INDEX.rdf -i .
exit

Now you should have everything install-kolab.sh needs for an upgrade
in /kolab/RPM/PKG. (for a full binary distribution you would have
needed to copy the openpkg-20071030-20071030.*-kolab.sh file into
that directory, too, but for upgrades this isn't used)
