I wasn't clear before: I followed the listed installation instructions. Step 4 gave permission denied. Running step 4 as root worked. And then produced the problems enumerated above. It appears that the installer is not designed to handle my installation configuration, but I don't know what it expects, or how I might change things so that it (1) works now and (2) updates correctly next time. Note that item 6 on the install instructions said I might be asked for root authentication. This did not occur. I just got a hard failure.
