I am updating my laptop from 5.4 to -current (to take advantage of the WPA
wireless support) and when I run mergemaster to update the /etc files,
install errors out complaining of "wrong number or types of arguments".  Is
there something I missed in the upgrade? (the install binary has a timestamp
of July 2nd, which is when I rebuilt world)  I even rebuilt mergemaster to be
safe.

Details are below; any ideas?
