I found one issue with my suggestion: xml-core itself provides
update-xmlcatalog and also installs catalogs using this tool. But of
course cannot depend on itself. But the suggested check would make this
necessary to avoid an error :) Maybe the check should contain an
unless (($pkg eq $package) || ...
at the start too, to make sure, we don't try to check for a dependency
on ourselves.
