What does your /etc/aliases file look like?  Either:

	* It is a 610-byte file with no aliases listed.

	  In this case, something else is wrong (maybe the aliases
	  database isn't getting constructed properly) that I don't
	  know about, and I'll have to experiment.

	* It is a longer file with a bunch of aliases in it.

	  In this case, something went wrong with the update, and you
	  should send me (personally) the contents of
	  /var/athena/update.log.
