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.
