/usr/src/UPDATING says:

When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try this
approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade.

Since 6.4 didn't work I tried 6.2
