If I understood that correctly, pkg_rr should recognize this and replace
p5-XML-LibXML-1.69 and p5-XML-LibXML-Common-0.13nb7 using p5-XML-LibXML-1.70.
That worked for me on NetBSD and failed on FreeBSD and OpenSolaris.
I don't know whether pkgin of pkg_add -u supports this.

So I'm not sure, but I was told ;-) to use this.
