10.1-10.2 upgrade dependency problem



trying to update 10.1 to 10.2 with the DVD ISO, the installer got stuck
trying to resolve some dependencies and package conflicts. mostly,
it complained about conflicts between java 1.4.2 and java 1.5. choosing
"do not install java 1.4.2" fixed the conflicts, but when trying to
"accept" and continue the installation, still keep getting an error window
to fix a dependency or package conflict - but it's empty! weird! doesn't
seem to be anything else to i can do but abort. i'm trying to avoid
letting it automatically trash everything that conflicts or is unsupported
because i have a bunch of unusual packages that are a hassle to re-install.

i've always upgraded systems just by backing up files and doing clean
installs, but it sounds like the 10.2 upgrade process is pretty reliable...?
