pkg_add: warning: package 'ImageMagick-6.2.2.1' requires 'perl-5.8.7', but
'perl-5.8.6_2' is installed

My perl-5.8.6_2 is depended by many other packages.

What are my options here? pkg_delete 5.8.6 and pkg_add 5.8.7?

It seems that 5-stable never has a freeze -- either I have too add all
packages at once or I will face conflict problmes.
