I believe you're confusing upgrading the libraries and upgrading your
database. You can install RT 4.0.2 on a new server and import your
database and then run the database upgrade steps. Running the 3.8.4 data
under 4.0.2 will not work. You *must* review the database upgrade steps
documented in the README and in docs/UPGADING-3.8 and 4.0 and then
complete all of the steps relevant to your install.
