Note: For new installations, remember that the package: openrc-config needs to be updated *before* continuing with the rest of the updates.

We want to emphasize that users *should* use PackageKit (pkcon) to install Debian packages.

The reason to use APT on this occasion is that PackageKit inexplicably fails to upgrade this package.

Disclaimer: We do not develop PackageKit, or its backend, APTCC.
