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
