The "Show QR code" context menu option silently fails. I remember it was working before because I was using QR codes created with bitcoin-qt to scan with Bitcoin Wallet.

I'd be very surprised if this has anything to do with blkfile_upgrade. What did you compare with that did work? Git head? 0.7.2? Compiled in the same way? ...

By fail you mean the QR Code dialog does not open / show up? Does it show up, when clicking on the QR Code button in your addressbook or the send coins tab?

It's the same for address book and receive coins: There is no button, but the context menu option is silently ignored (means: nothing happens). A QR code for sending coins doesn't make any sense to me.

It was working on the latest Ubuntu package bitcoin-qt 0.7.2-quantal2.

Could it be, that there is a problem with the qrencode lib, did you use USE_QRCODE=1 while compiling? I looked at the source and indeed, if USE_QRCODE=1 is not specified, we still ofter the context menu option, which is a bug :), so thanks for noticing.

No, I didn't. readme-qt.rst tells me to just run qmake, then make.
If there is an option to disable QR code then the context menu options should disappear IMHO.
