The reason this happens.. I dont know why..
But with the support of vb staff I figured out how to beat this error

Go to
AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles
Scroll to the bottom of the page and press the "Import" button without changing anything.
When the import is complete run the upgrade script again, and it should go straight to that step and complete.
