Just installing it on top works most of the time.  If you have problems,
remove the binaries (.so files and files in bin and sbin) and the
re-install.

We handle reading and using the sam.ldb and other files in private/ (and
elsewhere) from older versions as a natural part of running the updated
version.  The WHATSNEW suggests a dbcheck command that can be very
helpful.
