Comment (by bonefish):
hrev47490 changes the HPKG format for the no-compression case. It's a
backward compatible change, but it isn't forward compatible. The boot
loader package uses no compression and thus the new packages cannot be
read by an old Haiku, hence the update procedure fails. I didn't see this
implication.
To bridge the gap, at least in theory it should be possible to update
every package but the boot loader, then reboot and complete the update.
Not getting a useful error message (not even printing anything in the
syslog) is not a good situation, though. Leaving the ticket open to track
that. The failed update isn't anything that can be fixed.
