Doh! So that's what that phrase in the upgrade mini-howto meant. It
would be nice if "trouble" was in some way described or at least an
example was cited. I'm pretty sure I heeded that warning with the
initial upgrade, albeit blindly. In this case, smail was probably
ugraded at the same time as nmh was installed. At least I learned more
about my mail systems.
