another update... it looks like i cannot install over/update sensu-backend/agent/cli from beta 8 either. same error. i'm guessing it has to do with shared paths across all the different version (1.x, beta 8, and 5.0.0)... just not sure why it didn't happen with the beta versions.

I think we changed the paths we are using in our packaging. Thanks for reporting this. @amdprophet or @preed could you comment on this?

[palourde]

I believe some work was made around this to support both versions of Sensu. Feel free to re-open an issue @craigpfeiffer if you still face any issue!
