I just tried updating it on a Lucid system. My python-setuptools
package is already at the latest version (0.6.10-4ubuntu1). I ran
"easy_install rosinstall", but the rosinstall.egg in
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ is only at level 0.5.8. Since
I don't really understand easy_install very well, it's hard to be
certain I did the required steps correctly. But, I did the obvious
things.

Updating with that rosinstall leaves the old setup.sh scripts in
place. They still source rosbash. That works for me, as long as I
don't update my .bashrc to invoke setup.bash yet. But, it feels like
we've got "one foot on the dock and one foot in the boat".
