    Hi Chip,
    
    I has the same problem (and a lot of more problems) when I use 
    mergemaster in my first update.
    
    At the time, someone said to me to use mergemaster in this form:
    
    # mergemaster -svia
    # mergemaster -svir
    
    The first command puts in /var/temproot all the files that differ from 
    installed versions.
    
    The second one is manual.
    
        
        
    I always used this method and never had a problem.
    
    Bye,
    
    		Nuno Teixeira
