The pkg is no longer available as of yesterday. It was unceremoniously
de-installed during the 'pkg upgrade -y', w/ no reasons given. I still
have it in my ports tree, but I usually use pkg exclusively for package
maintanance, with the solitary exception of flash support. I could
obviously recreate paraview from the ports tree, but I was curious why
it got deleted from the pkg-repo.
