pkg update breaks pkg system

[Predrag Punosevac]

Just a quick follow-up to my original report. PmWiki is not broken. However
at this time almost all PmWiki skins

https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Skins/Skins

including the one I use (alike) are broken upstream and work only with PHP
7.2. It looks like the only option for me going forward is just to use the
base. This is not DF issue.

P^2
