JJ,
The typical procedure for a machine that was interupted in the middle of an
update is to log in as root by some means (probably in this case a console
login) and delete the last couple lines of /etc/athena/version. This will
make the workstation think it is still tunning the old release. You can then
re-run the update (following the instructions that jweiss mailed out in
release-announce).
Matt
