65 | NOTE: Always ensure that you correctly set up the |
66 | xref:pmg_package_repositories[package repositories], and only continue with the | |

69 | Major version upgrades, for example, going from {pmg} 5.4 to 6.0, are |
70 | also supported. They must be carefully planned and tested, and should | |
