[Qgis-user] Upgrading to 2.16 -> delete Processing in .qgis2 to get new version

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi,
I just upgraded from 2.14 to 2.16 on Linux Mint (after uninstalling  
everything). I had some strange behaviours with the Processing Toolbox, so  
I got the idea to delete the processing plugin folder from  
.qgis2/Python/plugins and restarted QGIS. Then there was a new link at the  
bottom of the toolbox, telling me that I can activate more providers.  
Actually I did not change anything in the settings, but when closing them,  
there was visible action on my hard disc. Afterwards, the quirks were gone.

It seems that the new Processing is only working correctly when doing  
that(?)

This may apply to Windows as well.

Any comments from devs on that? In case this should be a general case when  
upgrading, shouldn't this be told somewhere prominently on the website?
