>Description:

        I tried to do an upgrade.  sysinst (correctly) objected because 
        I already had an /etc.old on that disk.  So I did the mount, 
        rm, umount dance and tried again. 

        It did a full fsck on my /usr.  That's strange, it didn't 
        have any troubles the first try.  At the end, it asked me 
        if it should mark it clean [yn].  I said "y".  But then it 
        complained about not being able to mount it. 
        
>How-To-Repeat:
        Create /etc.old
        Try to upgrade
        After sysinst objects, do the mount, rm, and umount by hand.
        Try to upgrade again.

>Fix:
        work around: reboot and start over, possibly rebooting from 
        the disk to make sure things are clean.

        fix: ??
