The issue here appears to be that your system enumerated that group as
an alias, but wasn't willing to enumerate it's members.

If you could modify the upgrade.py script to print the group.sid

print("Importing members from %s" % str(group.sid))

just before that failure, then look in your directory and tell me if
that is indeed a group in your ldap directory, what the details are (ie,
give me the ldif if possible), and if it has any members.

Then we can see if the appropriate action is to allow it to skip on this
error, and move on to other groups. 

Thanks,
