I was able to fix it pretty easy with the following steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/ipfs/fs-repo-migrations.git
2. cd fs-repo-migrations
3. make build
4. ln -s /home/vega/vega_home/state/data-node/networkhistory/store/ipfs/ /home/vega/.ipfs
5. cd fs-repo-migrations && ./fs-repo-migrations

Closing as this is to be documented in:
