Currently, SoftwareUpdater uses the same logic as `pkgman update` - i.e.
it will not try to uninstall existing package.
However, from time to time some packages become obsolete and they are
required to be uninstalled like happened recently with `ilmbase`.
This led to a situation where haiku package couldn't be updated and
unsuspecting users don't understand why SoftwareUpdater stopped packages.
If possible SoftwareUpdater should detect this situation (when there is
an update for `haiku_loader` package but not for `haiku`) and offer
retrying in full-sync mode.
`pkgman update` could also at least warn the user about this situation.
