I also understand that sometimes, dependent requirements force the need to update based on functionality and if the libxml2 update requirement is based on a function need not found in earlier version or fixes a serious bug then I concur, force the requirement, if it's based on preference, IMHO, it would be foolish to force someone to upgrade when it is not a necessity. -- Dale
