   What is the usecase for a partial slackpkg update? On a release of   
   Slackware, you should upgrade-all because the only stuff that happens is   
   basically security updates and other bug fixes once a release is   
   finalized. On -current you should install-new and upgrade-all because   
   the whole dependency structure may be in flux (you're sitting on the   
   staging area for the next release).   
      
   So PV didn't solve this problem because it did not yet need to be solved.
