i am pleased to report my plan for upgrading from 2.0.12 ~did~ work as expected ~and~ custom permalinks is working. however i had to delete /etc/wordpress/config-alonzofretwell.com.php i.e. the config file left over from the install of 2.0.12 which was recreated when i ran /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n alonzofretwell alonzofretwell.com
