Probably not. You will need to read UPDATING for details of the update from V4 to V5. It is similar to the normal update, but there are a couple of critical additions and the EXACT sequence of the update operations is critical. Because of its delicacy, many suggest a clean install of V5, but I have updated several systems successfully in both ways and, if you are careful, updating should be fine. N.B. Updating to current can be risky. For any release declared stable, there will be testing to make sure that the update procedure works correctly, but until then, it usually works and occasionally goes BOOM! -- R.
