Thank you kko for confirming this bug and parsing the evidence out of the
log file for easy readibility.

I gave a suggested resolution in one of my first posts: A one-line warning
in the web page, instructing the user to use the server update process
from a console TTY, not from an terminal window within KDE.
   It was a DUH! when I encountered it, and realized (too late) that the
server edition doesn't have a gui, so it would make sense to run the
server upgrade process from a tty, but I'm impatient, and I'm reading
instructions on a web page in a graphical browser, so I just open a
terminal window and start typing as I'm told. It would save someone else
the dope-slap if the web page had that one-line reminder.

   So why does it take six months to get a one-line change made to a single
web page???
