[Mediawiki-l] 1.4.12 --> 1.5.4 update.php failure

[Jeff Hubbs]

I'm moving a wiki from one machine to another (both are Gentoo Linux).  
I brought in MW 1.5.4 from CVS, dumped/restored the wikidb, moved over 
my LocalSettings.php and images directory from my old machine and set 
their permissions.  I placed the new machine's MySQL root username and 
password in AdminSettings.php.  When I ran 
.../mediawiki/maintenance/update.php, I get a nonexistent-table failure; 
results are at http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/HAXWLN16.html.

There is no such table in the 1.4.12 machine's wikidb database. 

Is this a problem with the update script or do I need to get the new 
machine fully up and working under 1.4.12 before attempting to update it 
to 1.5.4?
