Description

When the Upgrade tests fail to access the oldVersions due to an IOException the message is not very clear as to what the IOException was. e,g. can output
ALARM: IOException msg: 'svn.apache.org'. Upgrade tests can NOT be run!
ALARM: IOException msg: 'svn.apache.org'. Upgrade tests can NOT be run!
ALARM: IOException msg: 'svn.apache.org'. Upgrade tests can NOT be run!

The code in OldVersions.getVersions()

}
} catch (IOException ioe)

{ alarm("Error reading from file: " + oldVersionsPath + ioe.getMessage()); }

should print the exception stack trace or possibly even fail on IOException.
