Not many.  From my notes...might help someone out there.  Going from 
non-bro-pkg to bro-pkg was the bulk of the excitement.  Also if you've 
ran bro-pkg with sudo instead of just as root you'll have to tweak out 
the config file.  Try as I might to bro-pkg upgrade ja3 it did not fly, 
but an uninstall and reinstall worked.  The list of packages are ones I 
use, betting folks use things other than my tiny list.  Thank you.

remove current /opt/bro/lib/bro/plugins/Bro_AF_Packet

update /root/.bro-pkg/config
bro_dist = /home/home/build/bro-2.6 <- remained on old build dir even 
after config and install

remove all from local.bro
@load packages <- not this
#@load packages/intel-seen-more/seen <- these

as root:
pip install bro-pkg
bro-pkg refresh
bro-pkg install bro-af_packet-plugin
bro-pkg remove ja3
bro-pkg install ja3
bro-pkg upgrade domain-tld
bro-pkg upgrade intel-seen-more
bro-pkg load ja3
bro-pkg load domain-tld
bro-pkg load intel-seen-more
