 This is the intended behavior.  Read the 20001020 entry in
 src/UPDATING.  On about the fourth line, it says:
 
         o mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary.
 
 As to why it doesn't work for you, my only guess is that you forgot to
 run mergemaster (which is required as part of the upgrade process
 unless you're *really* sure nothing important changed--obviously, this
 is not the case).
 
 Hope this helps
