Hello list

I have been using pkgviews for some time now and I have made all package
updates with pkg_chk "magic" so far. But now I should get one package
updated and got problems.

pkgsrc package (devel/buildtool-doc) wants:

=3D=3D=3D> Required package libxslt>=3D1.1.8: NOT found

and I have:

# pkg_info|grep libxslt
libxslt-1.1.6       XSLT parser library from the GNOME project

I also have the required package in depot:

# ls -d /usr/pkg/packages/libxslt-1.1.*=20
/usr/pkg/packages/libxslt-1.1.6         /usr/pkg/packages/libxslt-1.1.8


What is the correct way to update libxslt from 1.1.6 to 1.1.8 with
pkgviews?=20


I can't pkg_delete or pkg_view delete libxslt 1.1.6:

# pkg_delete libxslt-1.1.6
pkg_delete: package `libxslt-1.1.6' is required by other packages:
        gimp-2.0.2
        librsvg2-2.6.5
        libcroco-0.6.0
        libgnomeui-2.6.1.1
        libbonoboui-2.6.1
        libgnome-2.6.1.1
# pkg_view delete libxslt-1.1.6
pkg_view: `libxslt-1.1.6' is required by other packages:
        libgnome-2.6.1.1
        libbonoboui-2.6.1
        libgnomeui-2.6.1.1
        libcroco-0.6.0
        librsvg2-2.6.5

and I can't pkg_view add either, because the old package is still there.

Maybe there should be pkg_view update or change target to update software?
Or is this even possible with pkgviews system?
