So I've been follwing the official upgrade guide (posted here and on getmonero.org.)
I have updated my binaries, PGP-verified them. Now my issue is that when I have a monero-wallet-cli session open, when I run bc_height, I keep on getting 1546200, and it never changes over time. I made sure monerod is running in the background.
What could be the source of this issue, and how may I fix it?
EDIT:
I have looked into the monerod log. Looks like it's looping over the same block over and over again ("Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 1546200 -> 1546107")
Maybe this can be a hint into where the problem lies?
Note how the blockheight 1546200 keeps on being repeated throughout the log.
