"Upgrading" from 4.2 to 5.0 is not really something I would recommend. At the least, you would need to run scripts/start_over from the 4.2 $OSCAR_HOME directory before installing 5.0. This script on 4.2 had some problems though, so I would recommend starting from a clean OS install if possible.
The problem you are seeing is that there is an old version of SystemImager (or some leftover pieces of it) installed on the system which is confusing the installer. Unfortunately we did not have the developer manpower to write an upgrade script. The infrastructure of 5.0 should make this more of a realistic possibility for future versions.
