The file names are correct. And the "conversion" works once the old
conf.db is deleted or moved out of the way.
I wish I had a copy of the old conf.db so I could provide it as a
sample. I'd be curious to know which section causes the failure. Is it
the big blob of JSON at the beginning, or the smaller blobs of JSON
which describe the attached interfaces?
I held off on the upgrade for as long as possible. But then the gentoo
kernel jumped to 4.0.5, and I had no choice.
