     Just before the above message, the script displayed:

| This script will install the packages necessary to ensure a safe upgrade
| to hamm.
| 
| You need to either have a local or remote mirror mounted, or have the
| latest versions of the following packages from hamm available in the
| current directory:
| 
|     ldso, libc5, libc6, timezones, locales, ncurses3.0, ncurses3.4,
|     libreadline2, libreadlineg2, bash, libg++272, dpkg, dpkg-dev,
|     dpkg-ftp, dpkg-mountable, libgdbm1, libgdbmg1, perl-base, and perl.

     Apparently you overlooked getting a new libc5.  Note that this is
not the libc5 from your 1.3.1 CD.  It must be the version in the
oldlibs directory of hamm.

     There is a bug in autoup.sh.  It should have aborted just before
the message "all needed files found".  However, in this case, the
result would be the same.
