Hi Bruno,

Sorry but I'm not really sure what's happening here - I know that people 
have tested the upgrade script when upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5 before the 
final release and reported that it works.

I suspect you will need to talk to the maintainer of the .deb packages 
you are using to find out why this is failing.


HTH,

Mark.
