Failed migration: failed to update app version history

Information

macOS 10.12 Beta (16A238m)
Can’t run Moby as Application fails, but from Container I can gather that the version I installed is 1.12.0-rc3-beta18

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Have old installation
  2. download latest version, overwrite Application. Start. Fail.

Still persists on

Found some hints in system.log. It seems there are some lingerings remnants of an old installation:

How can I fix this?

Did you ever get Docker working again? I am just seing this same and have no idea where to go now.

I actually was able to run it successfully. I had to open and close the application a lot of times but sure enough it actually worked. There is (or was) something wrong with the migration script. It failed after each iteration but in the console.log I could actually see that when I closed the app,opened it again the error message changed in one tiny detail: the version number for which the migration failed . I had to catch up until the current version number (yes that meant closing and opening the app what felt like a million times
