[support] Problems Upgrading to 4.7 - Unknown column 'theme'

[ken]

I know RTFM but I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this
problem. Here is the problem:
*Upgrading form 4.6.8 to 4.7.3
*PHP 5.1
*MySQL 5.0

The error, I know it is common but I have reinstalled the themes in 4.6.8,
made sure that set to bluemarine and still get this error:
user warning: Unknown column 'theme' in 'where clause' query: SELECT *
FROM blocks WHERE theme = 'bluemarine' AND status = 1 ORDER BY region,
weight, module in /var/www/html/drupal47/includes/database.mysql.inc on
line 120.

Question:
What do I have to do to patch the database or the file to get around this
error? I think that prior upgrades some how did not get installed
correctly and therefore this one is a no go.

I have also converted the database from latin1 to utf8, this did not make
a difference.

Thanks in advance!
