I've collected specific advice outside of the basic ones here:

More fallout from this change:

=> Build dependency cwrappers>=20150314: NOT found
=> Verifying reinstall for ../../pkgtools/cwrappers
===> Trying to handle out-dated pkg_install...
===> Cleaning for pkg_install-20201205
ERROR: This package has set PKG_FAIL_REASON:
ERROR: Circular dependency detected

This is on an empty system trying to build cwrappers.

Also one other question. What happens to pkgin users on an update?

It doesn't treat pkg_install specally from memory. If it doesn't he transition from old db to new db will happen in the middle of an upgrade. Which will blow up spectactularly.
