            Fixed by creating the global description when it doesn't exist and is required by the ConfigureGlobalLogoAction.

            It seems the problem here is that in some cases the GlobalDescription has not been created. I'm not sure whether this has been due to the setup failing or the upgrade task failing.

            I'm uploading a patch for this issue. It makes the configure logo action create the globaldescription if it's missing.

            The patch should work for 3.4.x and probably earlier (tested on 3.4.7).

            Unzip the zip file into confluence/WEB-INF
