line 499 in taxonomy.install

Hey there :)

Many sites have this ~bug:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Taxonomy+upgrade+extras%22

This is caused by line 499 in taxonomy.install:

'label' => 'Taxonomy upgrade extras',

and is caused by upgrade from D6 to D7.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks :)

Manually [SOLVED]

Ok, this is an awkward solution, but it works.

You need phpmyadmin...

1) Enable the editing of BLOB: http://drupal.org/node/1060028#comment-4199552
2) Choose (click on) the table: field_config_instance
3) Click on the Search tab
4) Enter Taxonomy upgrade extras in the data field, for the Operator, choose LIKE %...%
5) Click on Go.
6) Edit all the data blobs, and replace Taxonomy upgrade extras by anything you like.
7) Update the number to the length of the new string.

The new BLOB data should look something like this:

a:6:{s:5:"label";s:8:"Taxonomy";s:8:"settings";a:1:{s:18:"user_register_form";b:0;}s:11:"description";s:44:"Debris left over after upgrade from Drupal 6";s:6:"widget";a:4:{s:4:"type";s:21:"taxonomy_autocomplete";s:6:"module";s:8:"taxonomy";s:8:"settings";a:2:{s:4:"size";i:60;s:17:"autocomplete_path";s:21:"taxonomy/autocomplete";}s:6:"weight";i:1;}s:7:"display";a:2:{s:7:"default";a:5:{s:5:"label";s:6:"inline";s:4:"type";s:28:"taxonomy_term_reference_link";s:6:"weight";s:2:"10";s:8:"settings";a:0:{}s:6:"module";s:8:"taxonomy";}s:6:"teaser";a:5:{s:4:"type";s:28:"taxonomy_term_reference_link";s:6:"weight";i:10;s:5:"label";s:5:"above";s:8:"settings";a:0:{}s:6:"module";s:8:"taxonomy";}}s:8:"required";b:0;}

Avoiding editing the database directly

If you want to avoid editing the database directly, here's a way to fix this problem using the interface (always the best option with Drupal, since then Drupal can do all the checks it needs to make):

click Administer > Structure > Content types
in the content type you see this behaviour, click "manage fields"
for the term widget, probably labeled "Taxonomy upgrade extras", click the "edit" link
make the changes to the label you need to make. You will probably want to remove or change the description too
save the field, then take a look at a post or two in the content type to verify
