I just went through an update 'inferno' :(
Since early November, I was trying now and then to update (and always
getting a SSL error message).
I had asked to some advice here, but nope.

Today, unfortunately, 'It did work', better said, it finally connected to an
'up to date server', uninstalled all those miktex-* deprecated packages.
Updated a few more. And, after that, everything, everything stopped working.

The 'latex compiler' was 'still working' but most of packages were broke.
The Admin tools (setting, package manager, update) won't even restart after
the update (windows were complaining about the binary, and configuration). 
I even tried to uninstall it (control panel) and it refuses to...

So, now I'm just contemplating the idea of deleting the miktex folder, and
start looking for something that work.

Subject: [MiKTeX] Update procedure as of mid-December

I have held off updating my MikTex installation since reading about the
issues with the November update, but I would like to do so now.

The page https://miktex.org/alert/package-refactoring-2016-11 opens but is
blank.

So what is the current status?  Can I run the updater now and it will take
care of things correctly?  Do I still need to make some manual adjustments?
If so, where can I get the information?

Thank you - David
