I am now fighting pkg to actually try and install some last available

version of the package does not install due to conflicts (delivers same
files as current "system/qemu/kvm", including an "usr/bin/amd64/qemu" -
though there is no link in "usr/bin" so the command is not found by the
default PATH settings) - does it mean that the current "qemu/kvm" fully
overrides the old couple of "qemu + qemu/kvm"?
To answer this part - no, the current qemu/kvm does not deliver the same
level of functionality as the older qemu package - there are a lot more
"usr/bin/{amd64,}/qemu-system-*" binaries in the older release, with the
latest one containing some content being @0.15.0-0.151.1.5 (oi_151a5).
It was however possible to first "pkg uninstall qemu/kvm" and only then
"pkg install [email protected]" (simple "pkg install qemu" request
apparently found the marked-newest obsoleted package and cheerfully
said that there's nothing to update).
It is not however possible to install "qemu/kvm" now (at least not the
latest version) which is not currently my experiment's target anyway,
due to conflicts in keymaps, binaries (PROMs, BIOSes, the basic qemu
command itself).
I think it is a kind of sad mess the way it is now... unless the older
version does not work at all, which I will see in some near future ;)
