When upgrading a 1.6.0 site, the configuration data for manual checks (also known as enforced services or static checks) would only be partially updated. Specifically, the "Checktype" would not be updated to reflect new plug-in names. This would result in warnings such as this,

-| WARNING: Invalid rule configuration detected (Ruleset: static_checks:fileinfo-groups, Title: Size, age and count of file groups, Folder: ,

-| Rule nr: 1, Exception: fileinfo.groups is not an existing element in this selection.)

during upgrades from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0. With this werk, the checktype is automatically transformed during the update step.
