typical pitfalls during upgrade

During the past weeks I upgraded 5.[12]-current two or three times
after cvsuping.

Always I had trouble with buildworld, buildkernel,installworld, installkernel.

buildworld died in two places:

   install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   csh /bin
install -o root -g wheel  -m 444 /usr/src/bin/csh/../../contrib/tcsh/complete.tc
sh /usr/src/bin/csh/../../contrib/tcsh/csh-mode.el /usr/share/examples/tcsh
gencat -new et_EE.ISO8859-15.cat et_EE.ISO8859-15.msg
gencat:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1 (ignored)


and install didn't get installed. I had to move xinstall to /bin/install,
make it executable and then re-installed /usr/src/xinstall.

After that I ran 

make -i installworld

which finally installed all binaries. Surely a little bit brute
force and not the cleanest way but only this way I got it up
and running again.
