Tweak Kirkstone package db format

The "Puppy package database" format goes right back to the early days of Puppy, and still used in EasyOS. This is what 'petget' and 'PKGget' (PPM) understand. For a pup built with, say, Debian .deb packages, the Debian package database is converted to Puppy-db format.

The pup-db format is very simple; each package db entry is on one line. In the case of EasyOS Kirkstone-series, the binary packages are imported from OpenEmbedded and file 'Packages-oe-kirkstone-official' create, which is the pup-db format. You can find this file in /root/.packages. Here is one line of that file:

acl-2.3.1-r6|acl|2.3.1|r6|BuildingBlock|628K|kirkstone|acl-2.3.1-r6-nocona-64.tar.xz|+attr|Utilities for managing POSIX Access Control Lists|oe|kirkstone||

The tweak that I have made, is that it used to be (up until EasyOS 5.6.5):

acl-2.3.1-r6|acl|2.3.1-r6||BuildingBlock|628K|kirkstone|acl-2.3.1-r6-nocona-64.tar.xz|+attr|Utilities for managing POSIX Access Control Lists|oe|kirkstone||

...that fourth field is supposed to contain the package revision-number, or build-number. However, I hadn't separated the "-r6" from the third field, the version number.

It is a small change, just making it more as originally intended. Hopefully this fix won't upset any scripts.
