Hi Randall!
You're only seeing this error 'cause you attempted a selfupdate from
a 1.5rc1 installation to the sources provided by the "release/base/"
rsync repository on our rsync server, which just as of yesterday
correspondded to the 1.4.42 release. So you basically attempted a
downgrade which naturally fails (for various reasons, actually, not
just the one you experienced here).
Nevertheless, I updated the base/config/RELEASE_URL file this early
morning to point to the 1.5.0 svn tag, effectively releasing 1.5.0
through selfupdate for all users (default "release/base/" rsync
repository). You should be able to selfupdate successfully now.

PS: selfupdating to the "trunk/base/" rsync repo will always get you
trunk/base's ToT sources, in case you can't care to svn co them && ./
configure && make && make install.
