I just upgraded today (finished about an hour ago) with no trouble on
this end (from an older 6.0 Snapshot). What are you upgrading from? An
earlier 6.0.x snapshot, or some 5.x install?

-b doesn't seem to be a valid option in the 5.x code, but is later on,
so you may need to try upgrading that before building the world?

try:
cd /usr/src/usr.bin/cap_mkdb && make && make install clean && rehash

then try the install again?
