You can't generally upgrade from one branch of Owl to another in-place with
installworld. You still have not said what you are upgrading *from*, which
makes a huge diffference. If it's Owl-stable, everything makes sense and
you have chosen a painful path. If it's some earlier Owl-current, then in-place
installworld *should* work, but it's not too surprising if it doesn't (see
Solar's suggestion about looking in the owl-dev mailing list around the time
of major changes.)

I have not tried to go from the -current ISOs up to Owl-current lately. The
ISOs are pretty old, by which I just mean a lot has happened on the -current
branch since then--and I think a lot more is about to happen! Look out for
glibc.next!
