Summary:                    Could cswclassutils always be upgraded/installed
first?
Description: 
I have just upgraded axel from testing and a cswclassutils upgrade came
along at the same time. As axel depends on cswclassutils I would have
expected that cswclassutils would be upgraded first, but axel was upgraded
first.

Is there a reasoning to NOT upgrade depends first? Could pkgutil either
upgrade/install depends first (general case) or at least upgrade/install
cswclassutils first? There might be CAS contained in an updated
cswclassutils on which an updated package relies on.

# pkgutil -t http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/testing -u axel

You are right, going through with the update i can see exactly the same as
in your example output. Thanks for the clarification, didn't know about the
changed behavior in 1.9 (should have read the readme).
