--- Comment #1 from Thomas Baumgart <tbaumgart at kde.org> ---
Just a quick answer to get you going (hopefully). Go back to a good backup of
5.1.3 before you do any of this and keep a copy of it. Just to be on the safe
side.

The assumption that 5.2.2 does not need it anymore is wrong. It is required in
5.1.3 and 5.2.2 and I bet it is in your file. Indeed, it's not a real account
but one of the five top level account groups which you have to have.

> references unknown account id 'AStd::Equity'
That's the problem: a split references a base account group which it should
not. It could be that this was allowed in a very early stage of the application
and did not get caught by earlier versions. Take a look at the said transaction
and split in the XML file. Replace the occurrence of "AStd::Equity" with an
"A######" that makes sense. 

The list of accounts is at the beginning of the file following the set of
institutions and you find entries of the form

>    <ACCOUNT id="A000006" parentaccount="A000004" lastreconciled="" lastmodified="2025-02-22"
>     institution="" opened="1900-01-01" number="" type="12" name="Reisekostenerstattung"
>    description="" currency="EUR"/>

Select your replacement based on the name and the the value of id="A#######" as
the replacement for the transaction.
Hope that helps. If something is unclear please ask.
