Don't update the queueing system during the upgrade; if you try to
do so, that portion will fail. After the upgrade you'll be running A5.5
instead of V5.5 and there is a command procedure documented in the
installation guide which will complete the upgrade from A5.5 to V5.5.
You could also keep the old queue system and update to A5.5-1.
After the upgrade, be sure to check and possibly reset your system
clock. Chances are pretty high that it'll be off by a year. If you do
reset it by that large amount, you should probably reboot immediately...
