Summary:                    pkg-get says dependencies are not up to date when
they really are
Description: 
I've noticed the current version of pkg-get (4.2) is failing to install
packages because it thinks dependencies are out of date.

Example:

 pkg-get -i gvim
No existing install of CSWgvim found. Installing...
Pre-existing local file
gvim-7.2.077,REV=2008.12.31-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz ma
tches checksum
Keeping existing file
Analysing special files...
Trying to install dependancy vimrt
No existing install of CSWvimrt found. Installing...
Pre-existing local file
vimrt-7.2.077,REV=2008.12.31-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg.gz mat
ches checksum
Keeping existing file
Analysing special files...
Error: dependancy common (CSWcommon) not up to date
Call pkg-get again in 'upgrade all' mode
eg: '/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get upgrade'
This will then upgrade all packages cleanly

ERROR: could not install required dependancies for CSWvimrt
Once dependancies are up to date, call
        /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i vimrt
to (re)install
ERROR: install of CSWvimrt failed
ERROR: could not install required dependancies for CSWgvim
Once dependancies are up to date, call
        /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i gvim
to (re)install


This claims the common pacakge is out of date.  However, the latest
version is installed:
pkginfo -l CSWcommon
   PKGINST:  CSWcommon
      NAME:  common - common files and dirs for CSW packages
  CATEGORY:  system

                   6 blocks used (approx)

pkg-get -c | grep -w common
         common            1.4.6,REV=2008.04.28                          
SAME


I had a look through the source for pkg-get and think I have found the
problem.
Line 1084:
		if ! uptodate $dependsoftname; then

should probably be:
		if ! uptodate $dependspkg; then

It should use the Solaris package name "CSWcommon", rather than the
OpenCSW package name "commmon".
