No. I think upgrade.sh (or .py) cannot really cope with updating a 5.8.6
instance to the current state. It took me several days, too, on
MacOS X, and I had to do a lot of manual tweaking and copying
around. I don't think any casual user will understand the details
:-|

IMO the best thing we can do now is provide some more up-to-date
binary archives (I'll upload my own stuff as soon as I find the time).
A newer release has been missing for several years, and the existing
scripts are no great help for new users.
