The announced changes are made on the public package repository.
In order to successfully upgrade your system, you shall:
  1. Remove bufgroup by issueing pkman -R bufgroup (if this operation is about to generate a new init cpio, then Ctrl-C it!).
  2. Upgrade the whole system: pkman -Syu (this operation shall generate a new init cpio and it is fine).
  3. Remove residues: pkman -R memheap and pkman -R crt (it is not a problem if these packages are not installed).
  4. If any package were removed from memheap and crt, then generate a new init cpio. To generage a new init cpio, issue mkbic -Pv --nobackup (note: use the --nobackup option to keep the current backup init cpio).

  1. Manually remove the utask_df package: pkman -R utask_df (when the pkman is about to create a new init cpio (Make Boot Init CPIO), just Ctrl+C it, you won't need this immediate init cpio).
  2. Upgrade the system: pkman -Syu (this command shall succeed, and shall make a new init cpio).

The libpkman and the makepk package will be merged into the pkman package. There is no more reason to keep them separated.

To upgrade a system which was up-to-date on Thu Jan 25, 2018:
  1. Manually remove the three pkman-related packages: pkman -R pkman libpkman makepk (when the pkman is about to create a new init cpio (Make Boot Init CPIO), just Ctrl+C it, you won't need this immediate init cpio). Do NOT restart your system!
  2. Upgrade the system and install the new pkman in one step: pkman -Syu --config /etc/pkman/pkman.ini.pksave pkman (note: the pkman tool will be still available, because it is stored under /run/bin which came from the boot init cpio).
