Update to v0.12.0-rc1 fails during blockstore migration

$ sudo ipfs-update install v0.12.0-rc1

ERROR: test refs list: expected to see QmTFJQ68kaArzsqz2Yjg1yMyEA5TXTfNw6d9wSFhxtBxz2 in the local refs! 

I'm not sure what this particular CID might be, but its existence seems to be tested for during blockstore migrations:

ipfs-update/test-dist/testnew.go

I discovered the source of the problem. The test function is looking for the Qm hash and v0.12.0-rc1 only outputs the base32 hashes... bafy...

Tested by pausing the installation before the end of the script.

/ipfs-new -c . add -

hello world! This node should workCTRL-D

Outputs the expected QmTFJQ68kaArzsqz2Yjg1yMyEA5TXTfNw6d9wSFhxtBxz2

And:

/ipfs-new cid format -v 1 -b base32 QmTFJQ68kaArzsqz2Yjg1yMyEA5TXTfNw6d9wSFhxtBxz2

So, the script will probably function if there is a test for which version is being installed. If >= v0.12 then bafy...

@overpi does #153 fix it?

2022-01-06 discussion:

1. We need a sharness test for this.

• Ideally in the sharness, we want to dynamically fetch the latest.

2. Potentially don't go back in the past for sharness.
3. Link Gus PR to this and potentially close Steven's.
