problem upgrading perl-libxml / perl-libxml-common...?

i just did a --sysupgrade and wound up with this:

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

..anybody else encounter this?  i'm not sure what i should be doing.  remove the packages (i think the only thing i have that requires them is snownews) and see what happens then?

I've seen young people waste their time reading books about sensitive vampires. It's kinda sad. But you say it's not the end of the world... Well, maybe it is!

Re: problem upgrading perl-libxml / perl-libxml-common...?

oh, i didn't know i could do that -- worked just fine, thank you very much

but now i'm curious.. since, as you say, they're just man pages.. why wouldn't it just go ahead and update/overwrite them without needing the --force option?  seems silly.
