Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a site collection to 2013 mode (tried both PS and GUI) and it fails. One of the errors is:
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The parent content type specified by content type identifier 0x0101 does not exist.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFeature.HandleProvisioningException(Exception e, Boolean force)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPElementDefinitionCollection.ProvisionFieldsAndContentTypes(SPFeaturePropertyCollection props, SPSite site, SPWeb web, SPFeatureActivateFlags activateFlags, Boolean fForce)

at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
It seems it is the publishing feature. I checked the site in 2010 mode before upgrade and this feature was enabled and I tried manually activating this feature on the broken (upgrade failed) 2013 site and I got the same error again.
This prevents the site from upgrading to 2013, has anyone come across a similar error?

Manoj
