FC4->FC5 upgrade problems

Hello,

Has anyone tried to perform an update from FC4->FC5 using the DVD  
media (Anaconda) and run into an issue where the installer complains  
about /usr/tmp being a directory though it should be a symbolic link?

Based on the ls below this error message is clearly incorrect, I have  
also reinstalled the filesystem-2.3.4-1.i386.rpm from FC4 which is  
the package that owns this symlink. Has anyone figured out how to  
resolve it, without a clean install?

Here is my /usr directory:
