It's exactly what happened; this user error is reported quite a lot
(and I've run into it myself when I have tried to be too clever).  You
*must* follow the upgrading directions listed in the handbook and
UPDATING *precisely*, or you *will* eventually encounter this type of
error.  Just because you can get away with skipping steps sometimes,
does not mean that you'll be that lucky every time.

A CD upgrade or reinstall should fix it for you.
