It has been my experience that updating from one full version to 
another (3.x to
4.x, 4.x to 5.x) is better done by doing a clean binary install of the next
version, then import/install software and users on the new system.
I understand that this is not always an option, but I have had less problems
this way than cvsup across full versions.
