It will not let me do that...

=================================
# pkgdb -F
--->  Checking the package registry database
[Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 283 packages 
found (-1 +1) (...). done]
Stale dependency: acme-2.0.3_1 -> bonobo-activation-2.2.1.1,1 
(devel/bonobo-activation):
bonobo-1.0.22 (score:30%) ? ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no]
New dependency? (? to help): libbonobo
Please choose one of these:
AbiWord2-1.9.0  Hermes-1.3.2  ImageMagick-5.5.6  Mesa-3.4.2_2  ORBit-0.5.17  
ORBit2-2.7.1  XFree86-4.3.0,1  XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0

XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_3  Xft-2.1_8  aalib-1.4.r5_1  ...
=================================

I can't put the 'libbonobo' in there.. Any hints?
