As I upgraded a migrator was run, which migrated all KDE SC 4 wallets to the 
KF/Plasma 5 one. Yet, it can´t run completely without user interaction if you 
used master password(s) to encrypt your wallet with. So you need to enter your 
old master password(s).

I bet you can have it have another go at it by setting alreadyMigrated to 
false

martin@merkaba:~/.config> grep Migr kwalletrc
[Migration]
alreadyMigrated=true

and restarting KWallet. You may need to restart your Plasma session in order 
to do that, or restart the kwallet service manually (but I didn´t find it in 
background services kcm).

There might be another way to trigger the migration again by DBUS or what have 
you, but I didn´t find it easily.
