Upgrade from Zabbix 1.8 in Ubuntu 12.04 to 2.2.2 in 14.04 is painful

[Mark Thornton]

To complete the upgrade it is necessary to checkout the zabbix source to obtain the 105 sql patch scripts and apply these using psql.

Then the zabbix-server can be set to start and it does the remainder of the upgrade (from 2.0 to 2.2.2).
