You are correct in your understanding, Steve. But I'm sure you were
catched by a subtle upgrade pitfall: when you are installing the
bootstrap from 2-STABLE-20061018 the _FIRST TIME_, there is still no
setuid-wrapper in place (as it comes with this version the first time).
Hence you _HAVE_ to perform the upgrade step ("openpkg rpm -Uvh") for
the bootstrap package as _ROOT_ or your <prefix>/bin/openpkg file
will be not be able to be chown'ed to "root". I'm sure if you do a
"openpkg rpm -V openpkg" it tells you that the owner/user ("U") on
<prefix>/bin/openpkg is incorrect. I'm sure it is your management user
as you performed the upgrade as the management user. Right?
