You need to migrate your mv_metadata.asc file. You would probably be best
off just to copy the one over from the current dist/foundation/products
directory; of course save your current one. 

Then merge the two together.

I have been meaning to come up with a merge facility for some
time, but have never gotten around to it.

This, by the way, sounds like a catalog coming from 4.6 land, for
extended was in 4.8 from the beginning.
