>Description:
	I was attempting to use the `upgrade' option to avoid repartitioning
	an already partitioned disk.

	I ftp'ed the sets into /mnt/usr/rel..

	The `local' option for install source seems to require that they be on
	a separate partition not already mounted by the upgrade; when
	it failed to mount the partition (because it was already
	mounted), it wouldn't let me unpack the sets.

>How-To-Repeat:
	see above..

>Fix:
	you should be able to specify a local pathname on an
	already-mounted partition..
