Summary:                    pkgutil: -u option only works with the package name,
not the software name
Description: 
Could pkgutil be enhanced to also recognize the software name when using
-u?

# pkgutil -c svn
package                   installed                 catalog
CSWsvn                    1.4.5,REV=2007.11.18      1.6.2,REV=2009.06.13  
  

# pkgutil -u svn
Parsing catalog, may take a while...
Package svn not in catalog...exiting.

# pkgutil -u CSWsvn
Parsing catalog, may take a while...
Install UPDATED packages ...

Rats, guess that's a perfect case against differing pkg and sw names. Sorry
for the noise.
