Nexcess Hosting 5.2.1 to 5.3.0 upgrade error No such property: 'logger' on EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Legacy\Facade

Hi all, following the recommendation on EE Website I have gone with Nexcess Hosting. on a completely fresh auto install I tried to upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3.0 via the automatic update.

I get an error ( rollback install worked fine )

No such property: ‘logger’ on EllisLab\ExpressionEngine\Legacy\Facade

Stack Trace.

Contacting nexcess support was met with an understandable but unhelpful, ” this falls outside of our support, please get a professional developer” response.

However as an expression engine official hosting partner on the front of the EE website I also do think it’s not unreasonable to expect that a vanilla install would be able to update without throwing an error?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a possible fix?

thanks
