The migrate_settings log from the point of installation:

root@foreman:/var/log/foreman-proxy# zcat migrate_settings.log.2.gz
using:
  config file: /usr/share/foreman-proxy/config/settings.yml,
  modules config dir: /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d,
  working dir: /tmp/tmp.SLkuCa0HMJ,
  migrations dir: /usr/share/foreman-proxy/extra/migrations,
  migrations state path: /usr/share/foreman-proxy/config/migration_state

Running migrations...
migrate_dns_settings

I'm unable to reproduce this, I wonder if something else could have overwritten it with the old config files?

Is the original log complete? If so, it shows that no migrations were executed. The only way that could happen if config files were migrated before and the migration state at /usr/share/foreman-proxy/config/migration_state was kept after that. Removing the state file and reinstalling should fix the issue. Was the package downgraded before this upgrade by any chance?
